Description
If you’re an experienced carer based in Becontree Heath or nearby and want to move away from agency rota pressures, night care work could fit your life. You’ll support people at home through waking or sleeping nights so families can rest — from checking on comfort and safety to responding to needs and carrying out agreed care tasks.
Right now, 107 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Overnight roles suit carers who are calm, observant and used to working independently. Many of our carers work nights because they prefer the quieter environment and continuity of supporting the same person. You remain self-employed: you set your own rates, choose clients, hours and service area, and keep the control that matters to you.
Pay varies by role and the level of care required; typical rates are £17–£19.89 per hour. PrimeCarers shows typical ranges like £18.80–£20.60 per hour for hourly night shifts and £146–£162 per day for live-in day rates when appropriate. We don’t promise specific earnings, but we give you the tools to set and manage your offers with full visibility.
PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments. While you’re working for a booked shift, insurance is included. That means less admin and a safer way to run your own care work in Becontree Heath and across Redbridge.
To join you need at least 1 year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check and verifiable references. If you don’t have an up-to-date DBS, PrimeCarers can help arrange one. We check your documents and references so your profile can go live quickly.
