Description

Overnight care assistants are the quiet, steady presence that lets families in Wadebridge sleep easier. These ongoing, self-employed opportunities are for experienced carers who want to work waking or sleeping nights supporting a client in their own home — giving relatives a reliable night-time cover while they rest. There is 1 family currently looking for care in the wider area.

Waking nights usually involve regular check-ins, supporting with medication prompts, repositioning or short personal care tasks and responding if a client becomes unsettled. Sleeping nights typically require a sleep-in presence with the ability to respond if needed. Work can be in Wadebridge itself or across surrounding areas of Cornwall, depending on the client and your chosen range of travel.

Pay is set by you — many carers working with PrimeCarers aim between £15–£25 per hour depending on experience and duties. You choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work, so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.

This platform is for experienced, self-employed carers. To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS (PrimeCarers can help arrange one) and verifiable references. These roles are ongoing opportunities rather than single shifts or a one-off placement — you pick the regular nights you want to offer in and around Wadebridge.

Many carers prefer to work close to home; if you serve the wider area you might cover towns such as Padstow, Bodmin, St Columb Major, Camelford, Lostwithiel and St Blazey. Setting up takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you could be visible to local families in Wadebridge quickly. If you’re used to agency nights but want more control over who you work with, when and at what rate, this is a practical alternative that keeps care at the centre.

If you want reliable night work, autonomy and fewer admin headaches, create your profile and start choosing the nights that suit you. PrimeCarers supports self-employed carers every step of the way so you can deliver overnight care with confidence.
