Night Care Assistant Jobs in Weymouth

Overnight care in Weymouth means supporting someone in their own home through waking or sleeping nights so families can rest with confidence. You might be helping with repositioning, medication checks, companionship, or responding to night-time needs — whatever the family has agreed with you. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families across Weymouth and nearby areas like Chickerell, Portland, Dorchester, Bridport, Wareham and Beaminster. You remain self-employed: you set your own rates, choose which clients you work with, and decide your hours and service area. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work.

This work suits experienced carers who want more control than agency shifts allow. Nights can suit people who prefer concentrated blocks of work and steady routines, or those looking to top up daytime hours. To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), and verifiable references. PrimeCarers will guide you through verification; applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

Pay is set by you and varies by client and shift type. Typical rates for this type of role are £17–£18 per hour. For reference, common ranges you’ll see on the platform include £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly night shifts and £145–£160.50 per day for live-in day rates. We don’t promise earnings, but the platform makes it straightforward to see what local families are offering so you can set rates that reflect your experience and preferences.

These are ongoing self‑employed opportunities across Weymouth and Dorset rather than a single job post. If you’re ready to take more control over the work you do at night, create a profile, upload a brief CV and references, and complete ID and DBS checks if needed. The sign-up takes minutes and many carers’ profiles go live within days. If you have questions about night work, insurance while you’re placed, or how invoicing is handled, PrimeCarers’ support team is here to help so you can focus on caring.
