Description
Overnight care in Uppingham means supporting people in their own homes through waking or sleeping nights so families can rest and feel reassured. You’ll work directly with families in Uppingham and the surrounding area, offering the calm, practical support that makes nights manageable for everyone. Right now, 2 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
This is for experienced carers who want more control than agency life usually allows. Overnight work can include medication checks, personal care, turning and repositioning, companionship and responding to calls — all agreed with each family before you start. It suits carers who prefer concentrated night shifts, those who like continuity of care, and people who want to balance daytime commitments with reliable nights in Uppingham and Rutland.
Pay and flexibility are at the heart of how PrimeCarers works. Carers on the platform are self-employed and set their own rates. Typical rates for this kind of work are £17–£20 per hour. You can set hourly prices or agree live‑in day rates; typical ranges for each are £18.60–£20.50 per hour and £145–£160 per day. You choose who you work for, which hours you accept and how far you’ll travel.
To join you’ll need:
- At least 1 year of professional care experience
- An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this)
- The right to work in the UK
- Verifiable references

Tax is yours to sort out
Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed, so Income Tax and National Insurance come out of the take-home figure above. Nothing is deducted for you and this page does not work out what you owe. Tax and money as a self-employed carer walks through registering with HMRC and what to put aside.
