Description

Help families in Usk sleep easy by providing overnight care in people’s own homes. Whether you prefer waking nights — where you remain alert to provide hands-on support — or sleeping nights with periodic checks, PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with local households. You choose the clients, the hours and the area you cover, while PrimeCarers finds the work and handles the paperwork. Right now, 5 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Overnight work varies from light reassurance, regular welfare checks and repositioning to planned personal care and prompting with medicines according to care plans. Shifts are often 10–12 hours but can be shorter or longer depending on the household. This role suits seasoned carers who value autonomy, steady night work and the chance to build direct relationships with families across Usk and the surrounding communities.

Pay and flexibility: Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates. Typical pay falls in the range £17–£20 per hour. You can also consider different arrangements such as hourly overnight work (see £18.50–£22 per hour) or live-in day rates (see £145–£160 per day) when those options arise. PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included while you work, so you can focus on care.

What we ask of you — straightforward checks so families feel safe:

  • At least one year of professional care experience.
  • An Enhanced DBS check; PrimeCarers can help arrange this if needed.
  • The right to work in the UK.
  • Verifiable references from recent professional roles.
