Description
Overnight care in Wallingford helps families sleep knowing someone experienced is at hand. Whether you offer waking nights, sleeping nights or a mix, you’ll support people in their own homes so relatives can rest, attend work or recover. PrimeCarers links self-employed carers directly with families across Wallingford and the surrounding area.
Right now, 8 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
As an overnight carer you’ll cover checks, personal care, medication prompts and reassurance through the night. Some nights are alert and hands-on; others are quieter with a sleeping-in presence and occasional prompt responses. You choose the nights you want to do, the clients you work with and the area you’ll cover — many carers on the platform set their own hours to fit family life or other work.
Pay is set by you. Typical rates for these roles fall in the range £17–£20 per hour, and PrimeCarers makes it easy to quote and invoice families while handling contracts, payments and included insurance while you work.
This kind of role suits experienced, practical carers who value continuity of care and quiet, responsible nights. It’s a good fit if you’re thinking of moving away from standard agency rotas: you can keep doing the work you love while choosing clients and shifts that suit you. Wallingford carers commonly travel to nearby towns such as Didcot, Watlington, Abingdon, Cowley, Henley on Thames and Oxford and across Oxfordshire for clients who need consistent overnight support.
To join you’ll need:
- At least 1 year of professional care experience
- An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one)
- The right to work in the UK
- Verifiable references
