Overnight Carer Jobs in Balham

Overnight care in Balham means providing waking or sleeping nights in a client's own home so families can rest. You’ll support with personal care, comfort, repositioning and observation, and be ready to respond when needed. Right now, 218 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This opportunity suits experienced carers who want more control than traditional agency work. On PrimeCarers you work as self‑employed, set your own rates, and pick the clients, hours and service area that fit your life in Balham and beyond. If you’re used to night shifts and want clearer, direct arrangements with families, this could be a good fit.

Typical overnight duties include gentle support during the night, monitoring wellbeing, assisting with toileting or transfers when needed, keeping accurate notes for families and other professionals, and liaising calmly if a situation changes. Work is one‑to‑one and home‑based — you’ll often carry out lighter tasks than a busy day shift but with a high level of vigilance and interpersonal skill.

Pay and flexibility are central. Many carers on PrimeCarers charge within the typical range of £17–£19 per hour. For clarity, the platform shows £18.80–£20 per hour for usual hourly care and £145–£160 per day for day rates when a live‑in arrangement applies. As a self‑employed carer you set your own rate within or outside those bands, and choose the nights you take.

To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is required — PrimeCarers can help arrange this. PrimeCarers will also find clients for you and handle contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work.

Roles are ongoing self‑employed opportunities across Balham and nearby areas such as Tooting Bec, Clapham Common, Tooting, Streatham, Clapham and Earlsfield and the wider Wandsworth borough. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. You’re free to accept or decline work as it suits you; this is not a single advertised post but an open pool of overnight care assignments.

If you want clearer hours, direct contact with families and to keep the practical benefits of platform support, create a profile with PrimeCarers and start choosing nights in Balham that suit you.
