Description
Overnight care in Yarm is about helping a family rest easy while you provide waking or sleeping nights in a client’s own home. On PrimeCarers you’ll work as a self-employed carer, choosing the clients, hours and service area that suit you and setting your own rates. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work.
Right now, 8 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
The kind of work you might do includes checking on a person overnight, supporting mobility and transfers, administering medication, or providing reassurance and companionship during sleeping nights. You can offer waking nights (active support through the shift) or sleeping nights (on-site support with occasional checks) — whichever fits your skills and life. Many carers in Yarm and the surrounding area prefer overnight work for the concentrated hours and continuity of care.
This role suits experienced carers who want more control than traditional agency work. If you’re already working nights, or are used to one-to-one care in people’s homes, PrimeCarers makes it straightforward to move to self-employed work around Yarm, Stockton-on-Tees and nearby communities like Eaglescliffe, Ingleby Barwick, Thornaby on Tees, Fairfield, Stockton on Tees and Stokesley.
Pay and flexibility: you set your rates and accept the clients you want. Typical overnight rates are £17–£18 per hour. You choose waking or sleeping nights, the number of hours and how far you’ll travel within your defined service area.
To join you must meet a few clear requirements:
- At least 1 year of professional care experience
- An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this)
- The right to work in the UK
- Verifiable references
