Description
Work supporting people at night in their own homes across Vauxhall. Overnight roles can be waking nights — active support, transfers and personal care — or sleeping nights where you remain on-site and available if needed. Families rely on overnight carers so they can rest; you’ll spend quiet hours providing reassurance, checking wellbeing and keeping clients safe. Right now, 4 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Overnight care suits experienced, calm carers who value continuity and working with the same people. If you’re used to agency routines but want more control over who you support and when, this could be a better fit. Many carers working through PrimeCarers in Vauxhall already prefer predictable rounds and the quieter rhythm of nights. You may pick clients close to home or stretch your service area toward nearby towns such as Queensferry, Broxburn, Loanhead, East Calder, Penicuik and North Queensferry and wider Edinburgh if you wish.
As a self-employed carer you set your own rates and choose your shifts. Typical pay is in the range £17–£19 per hour depending on the service and client needs; many listings quote an hourly figure (see £18.80–£20 per hour) and live-in day rates are shown as £140–£160 per day. PrimeCarers brings clients to you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments so you can focus on care. Insurance is included while you work on assignments sourced through the platform.
To join you’ll need:
- At least 1 year of professional care experience.
- An Enhanced DBS check — PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you need it.
- The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
