Overnight Carer Jobs in Becontree

Work as an overnight carer in Becontree supporting people in their own homes so families can rest. Nights can be waking or sleeping shifts — it’s hands-on, steady work that suits experienced carers who prefer one-to-one support rather than agency rotas.
Right now, 190 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Overnight care typically includes supporting personal care, prompting medication, moving or turning, companionship through the night and reporting to families or professionals at the end of a shift. You’ll be asked to provide a calm, alert presence that keeps clients safe while enabling relatives to sleep. Many of the roles are in Becontree and across the Redbridge area, with work close to local communities.

This is an ongoing self-employed opportunity. You set your own rates and choose the nights you accept — typical rates on the platform are £17–£18.89 per hour. For comparison you may also see £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly nights and £145–£160 per day for live-in day rates. You choose your clients, hours and service area so you can work the pattern that suits your life.

Who this suits:

• Experienced carers who want more control than agency rotas — you must have at least one year of professional care experience.
• Carers comfortable with night-time observation, medication prompting and basic manual handling where required.
• People who are self-employed or who want to work on a flexible, self-employed basis across Becontree and nearby communities.

Requirements to join are straightforward: at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You’ll also need to confirm your availability for night work and any relevant training or mobility competencies.

PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments. Insurance is included while you work on bookings through the platform, and the team can support the DBS and verification process. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. If you’re based in Becontree or nearby Becontree Heath, Goodmayes, Seven Kings, Chadwell Heath, Newbury Park and Aldborough Hatch you can be matched with local families quickly, and you stay in control of which nights you accept.

If you’re an experienced carer ready to leave agency-style nights behind, PrimeCarers lets you work the way you choose, keep more of what you earn and build ongoing relationships with families in Becontree and the wider Redbridge area.
