Overnight Carer Jobs in Wombwell

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers in Wombwell with families who need overnight support. Overnight care can be waking or sleeping nights, supporting a client in their own home so families can rest. You choose who you work with, which hours you take and the area you cover — many carers move to PrimeCarers to escape rigid agency rotas while keeping professional autonomy. Right now, 20 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Typical pay for overnight care sits around £17–£18 per hour depending on the client and the level of support needed. We list typical hourly and live-in ranges so you can compare work easily: £18.50–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day. PrimeCarers finds the work, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you are working — you keep control, we take care of the admin.

What overnight shifts involve: waking nights where you provide hands-on personal or clinical support, or sleeping nights where you are on-site and available. Tasks are set by the family and agreed in the contract; they can include personal care, medication prompts, mobility assistance and companionship. Every assignment is in a private home in Wombwell, often covering nearby areas such as Hoyland, Wath upon Dearne, Over Woodhouse, Barnsley, Brierley and Mexborough.

This type of role suits carers who already have at least a year of professional care experience and prefer steady, predictable nights rather than constantly changing day shifts. If you want quieter, focused periods to deliver personalised care and a chance for families to sleep, overnight work frequently fits well. Many carers appreciate the balance overnight roles give to daytime commitments or other work.

Requirements to join are straightforward: at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You remain self-employed, set your own rates and choose clients that match your skills and availability. PrimeCarers supports you with client introductions, secure payments and insurance while you work.

Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
