Night Care Assistant Jobs in Wigton

Work overnight supporting people in their own homes across Wigton and the surrounding area. Night care on PrimeCarers can be waking nights where you provide hands-on support, checks and companionship, or sleeping nights where you remain on-site and available while a family rests. These roles suit experienced carers who value quieter, focused work and the regular rhythm of night shifts in a community setting.

Right now, 2 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

On PrimeCarers you work as a self-employed carer: you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that fit your life. Typical pay for night care ranges around £17–£21.50 per hour depending on the client’s needs and your experience. PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you are working, so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.

Night care in Wigton often includes tasks such as personal care, medication prompts, repositioning, pressure-relief checks, and providing reassurance through the night. You may support someone with long-term conditions, dementia, or post-hospital needs — always following care plans and liaising with families to ensure continuity. Many carers who choose night work do so because it allows concentrated, meaningful support and predictable blocks of time to manage other commitments.

We’re looking for carers with at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), and verifiable references. If you already have an Enhanced DBS that’s up to date, that speeds verification. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can be visible to families in Wigton, Cumbria and nearby towns such as Aspatria, Silloth, Carlisle, Annan, Gretna and Cockermouth quickly.

PrimeCarers is not an agency placing you on rotas — you remain self-employed and choose the work you accept. The platform supports you with contracts, secure payments and public liability insurance for the periods you work, plus clear written agreements so families and carers know what to expect. We do not list a single role here; this page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities for night care across the Wigton area.

To apply, create a profile and add your experience, DBS and references. The sign-up process takes minutes and our team will verify documents so your profile can go live within days. If you want to discuss what night care looks like in Wigton or how to set your rates, we’ll talk it through — many carers move from agency shifts to PrimeCarers for the flexibility and control it brings.
