Overnight Carer Jobs in Woodhaven

Overnight carers on PrimeCarers support people in their own homes through waking or sleeping nights so families can rest. Work is self-employed and ongoing — you pick the clients, hours and service area that suit you while we take care of the match and the paperwork. Right now, 4 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Typical overnight duties include wellbeing checks, personal care if needed, medication prompts, reassurance and record-keeping. Some nights are waking shifts with regular checks and active support; others are sleeping nights where you stay overnight and respond when required. You’ll work with people with differing needs and support plans, always focusing on dignity, safety and continuity of care.

This role suits experienced care workers from agency or domiciliary backgrounds who want more control over when and where they work. If you’re looking to move away from rota-driven agency nights, self-employed overnight work through PrimeCarers lets you choose regular rounds or occasional shifts in Woodhaven and nearby towns such as Newport on Tay, Wormit, Tayport, Leuchars, Monifieth and Cupar in Fife.

Pay is set by carers themselves, and many find the flexibility attractive. Typical pay on the platform sits at £17–£17.50 per hour; you can set an hourly rate within the usual local ranges, from £19.20–£20 per hour for standard overnight work to £140–£160 per day for live-in day equivalents where applicable. Earnings depend on the hours you accept and the rates you choose.

To join you must have at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. PrimeCarers manages contracts, invoicing and payments for every placement, and provides insurance while you are working through the platform, so you can focus on care rather than admin.

Applying takes just minutes: complete your profile, upload references and any certificates, and we’ll start verification. Profiles typically go live within days of successful checks, and then you can review and choose the overnight roles that match your availability across Woodhaven and the wider Fife area.
