Description

If you’re an experienced carer who knows the difference your night shift can make to a family’s sleep, overnight work in Bexley could suit you. These roles support people in their own homes through waking or sleeping nights so families can rest. Right now, 133 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Overnight care can mean different things to different clients: helping with medication checks, moving and turning, reassurance, or being available on call through the night. Some nights are active and require regular attention; others are mainly sleeping nights with occasional checks. You will always be choosing the type of nights you want to offer rather than signing up to a single, fixed pattern.

This work suits carers who want more control than typical agency setups — you’ll be self-employed, set your own boundaries, and bring your experience to a role that values continuity and trust. Many carers who move to self-employed overnight work find they can build long-term relationships with families and enjoy more predictable, respectful working arrangements.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical ranges you’ll see for these roles are £17–£19.50 per hour. You’ll also see listings in the typical hourly and live-in bands: £18.89–£21 per hour and £148–£165 per day. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work — so you can focus on care, not paperwork.

What you need to join

  • At least one year of professional care experience.
  • An Enhanced DBS check — PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you don’t have a current certificate.
  • The right to work in the UK.
  • Verifiable references from recent care roles.

Applying takes minutes and you can have a profile live within days of verification. We connect carers with ongoing self-employed opportunities across Bexley and nearby areas including Bexley Village, North Cray, Bexleyheath, Bexley New Town, Blendon and Old Bexley, and across Greater London when you choose to expand your service area.
