Description
Overnight care in Wallsend means supporting someone in their own home through waking or sleeping nights so families can rest. These ongoing self-employed roles are about companionship, personal care, medication prompting and safe night‑time checks — whatever the household needs to sleep peacefully. Right now, 7 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
This type of work suits experienced carers who want the autonomy to choose their hours and the clients they support. On PrimeCarers you set your own rate and timetable, and most carers working nights choose within the £17–£18 per hour band depending on experience and responsibilities. You’ll work across Wallsend and often in nearby areas, connecting with families who want consistent overnight help in Tyne and Wear.
What a typical night might look like varies by client: regular checks, supporting mobility, helping with toileting, or being present to manage alarms and medication. Some nights are primarily sleeping shifts with periodic checks; others are waking nights with active support. You decide which assignments you’ll accept and can filter opportunities by distance, hours and duties.
The basics we need from you:
- At least 1 year of professional care experience
- An Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this if needed)
- The right to work in the UK
- Verifiable references
PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments for you, and includes insurance while you work on bookings sourced through the platform.
