Description

Overnight care in Aldgate means supporting people in their own homes through waking or sleeping nights so families can rest. You’ll help with checks, reassurance, personal care or simple companionship while a family sleeps, staying with the same client to provide continuity and peace of mind. Right now, 231 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This is an ongoing self-employed opportunity for experienced carers who want more control than agency shifts allow. You choose the clients you work with, the hours you accept and the service area you cover, including work across Aldgate and nearby areas such as Tower Hill, Spitalfields, Whitechapel, Custom House, Finsbury and Shadwell. Many carers prefer night work because it can fit around daytime commitments and often brings steadier hours with the same household.

Pay is set by you: carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates (typical range: £17–£19 per hour). We do not promise any particular income, but we do make it straightforward for you to list your rates, negotiate with families and invoice through the platform. PrimeCarers handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working with a matched client.

Night roles vary. Waking nights mean you’re actively awake and carrying out checks, tasks and personal care as needed. Sleeping nights mean being on-site and available, ready to respond if required. Both need attentiveness, good judgement and the confidence to work independently in someone’s home. If you’ve already been doing overnight shifts for at least a year, these roles will suit you well. Many carers moving from agency work tell us they value the continuity of working repeatedly with the same family in Aldgate.

Requirements to join are straightforward and checked quickly: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification. You remain fully self-employed and in control of how much you work and where.

How to apply: create your profile, list your night-care experience and preferred area, and set your rates. Once verified you can start seeing client matches and choose the ones that suit you. If you live in Aldgate or around east London and want night work that fits your life, PrimeCarers makes the paperwork and payments easy so you can focus on care.

A waking night runs past six hours, so it is charged at the shift commission rate. The commission is taken out of the rate you advertise rather than added on top of it, and the VAT on it comes out of our share.
