Description
Overnight care in Wetherby means supporting people in their own homes through waking or sleeping nights so families can rest. You’ll be helping with personal care, medication prompts, moving and positioning, companionship and keeping someone safe and comfortable until morning. These ongoing, self‑employed opportunities are ideal for experienced carers who want flexible night work across Wetherby and the surrounding area. Right now, 10 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
This work suits nurses, experienced support workers and agency carers who are used to night shifts and want more control. Typical night duties are calm and measured: reassuring a client during a waking night, checking breathing or repositioning, supporting toileting needs, or being on hand during a sleeping night where presence and observation are required. You’ll be working in people’s homes in Wetherby and often in nearby towns such as Tadcaster, Knaresborough, Garforth, Leeds, Sherburn in Elmet and Boroughbridge.
Pay and flexibility are part of the appeal: carers on PrimeCarers are self‑employed, set their own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit them. Typical rates for night care fall within £17–£17.70 per hour depending on the client’s needs and the arrangement. PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments — insurance is included while you work.
To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one) and two verifiable references. We’re looking for reliable, experienced people who can work respectfully and calmly through the night. This is ongoing work across Wetherby and wider West Yorkshire — not a one‑off shift.
Applying takes minutes and most profiles go live within days of verification. Once live, PrimeCarers will introduce you to suitable families and support the contracting and payment process so you can focus on care. If you’re used to agency nights but want flexibility, clearer pay and more choice over who you work with, this is a straightforward way to make the move.
How to proceed: create a short profile, upload your references and DBS, and choose which areas around Wetherby you’re willing to cover. You remain self‑employed and free to accept or decline assignments. If you’d like to discuss typical night duties, how rates are set or how insurance works on a nightly shift, our team in West Yorkshire can walk you through the details.
