Description
Waking or sleeping nights supporting someone in their own home are vital for families in Wickwar and across South Gloucestershire. As a night care assistant you’ll help people remain safe and comfortable through the night so families can rest with confidence. Right now, 8 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
These opportunities are for self-employed carers who want more control than traditional agency work. You set your own rates and choose which clients, hours and areas to work in. Many carers on PrimeCarers charge between £17–£20 per hour depending on experience and the level of night support required. PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments for you, and insurance is included while you work.
Night work can take a few different forms — waking nights where you remain alert and provide personal care, medication prompts or mobility support, and sleeping nights where you are on-site and available to respond if needed. Tasks may include observation and reassurance, assistance with toileting, pressure-relief checks, recording and passing on information, and following care plans set by the family or professionals. You will choose the shifts that suit you.
This role suits experienced, confident carers who are used to working independently and want to build a steady night-rounds routine in and around Wickwar. You might be moving away from agency rotas and looking for flexibility, or already self-employed and want PrimeCarers to find local matches for you.
Minimum requirements to join:
- 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
Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, add your experience and references, and PrimeCarers will verify you.
