Description
Are you an experienced carer who prefers nights? PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families in Albany Park and the wider Bexley area to provide overnight support in people’s own homes. Nights can be waking shifts with active support, or sleeping nights where your presence and checks help families rest. Right now, 103 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
As a PrimeCarers carer you set your own terms — you choose clients, hours and the area you cover around Albany Park and nearby Sidcup, Lamorbey, Foots Cray, Old Bexley, Longlands and Ruxley. You set your rate as a self-employed carer and can quote from the £17–£19.70 per hour for overnight work. We find clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work so you can focus on care, not admin.
Night work here often includes prompting medication, helping with personal care at night, supporting someone who wakes frequently, reassurance and monitoring to reduce falls and ensure safety. Some shifts are active waking nights; others are sleeping nights where you remain onsite and respond if needed. You won’t be asked to invent medical roles — tasks match your experience and the family’s agreed needs.
This work suits carers who want more control than traditional agency rotas: experienced, reliable people who like night work and want to build relationships with families in Albany Park. You must have at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. PrimeCarers can help arrange an Enhanced DBS if you need one.
