Description

Night-time care is about steady, dependable support so families can sleep with confidence. As a night care assistant on PrimeCarers you work in people’s own homes in and around Woodbridge, providing waking or sleeping nights—observations, personal care when needed, reassurance and any basic medication support within the agreed plan. You remain self-employed, set your own availability and choose the clients and areas you will cover. Right now, 3 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Typical night work varies from hands-on assistance to overnight observation. Tasks often include regular checks, helping with continence needs, prompting medication, supporting a restful environment and offering calm companionship if a client wakes. This role suits experienced carers who are used to working independently and who value continuity of care. Many carers on our platform cover nights across Woodbridge and neighbouring areas in Suffolk.

Pay and flexibility are in your hands. Carers set their own rates and choose which nights to accept. Typical rates for this kind of care are £17–£18 per hour. For additional context you can also refer to £19–£22 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for day rates when live-in support is agreed. Your actual earnings depend on the rates you set, the hours you take and the demand in your chosen area.

PrimeCarers finds clients for you and takes care of the admin so you can focus on care. We handle client matching, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work on a placement. To join you’ll 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 if needed) and verifiable references. We never place you into a role without your agreement on duties and hours.

Applying takes minutes and many profiles go live within days of verification, so you can start choosing local night work quickly. You remain in control of your diary; pick nights that suit you and the neighbourhoods you prefer, from central Woodbridge out to Kesgrave, Ipswich, Framlingham, Felixstowe, Orford and Parkeston. If you are ready to trade agency shifts for more control over your nights and your rates, creating a profile is the first simple step.
