Description
Night-time care in Barnet Gate and nearby Enfield is about steady hands, calm presence and reliable companionship. On PrimeCarers you can offer waking or sleeping nights supporting a client in their own home so families can rest, while working as a self-employed care professional who sets their own terms. Right now, 138 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
These ongoing opportunities suit experienced carers who want to move away from agency shifts and take control of their hours and clients. Typical roles include medication checks, personal care, monitoring and being a reassuring presence through the night. You choose the nights you want and set your own rates within the local range (£17–£20 per hour). For different arrangements carers often use the hourly option (£19–£21.50 per hour) or live-in day rates (£148–£163.50 per day) where suitable.
PrimeCarers finds clients and handles the paperwork side so you can focus on care. We manage contracts, invoicing and payments and provide insurance cover while you work. That means you keep the freedom of self-employment — choosing your own clients, hours and service area — without having to run every administrative detail yourself.
This type of work is ideal if you have practical experience of overnight care and want predictable, respectful work in the community. You might already live in Barnet Gate, travel from neighbouring areas such as Arkley, Borehamwood, The Hale, Monken Hadley, Chipping Barnet and Mill Hill, or cover parts of Enfield. Many carers prefer nights because they can fit other commitments around daytime responsibilities.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We’ll verify these quickly so your profile can go live. Applying takes just minutes and profiles typically appear within days of verification, letting you start connecting with families and choosing the nights that suit you.
