Description

Join PrimeCarers to offer waking or sleeping night support in Bickley and nearby streets. You’ll be working as a self‑employed carer, supporting people in their own homes so families can rest. Shifts vary by client and you choose the ones that suit you. Right now, 188 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Overnight work here often means low‑interruption hours with focused support overnight: assisting with personal care, medication prompts, repositioning and observation, or simply being present and responsive. This role suits experienced carers who prefer the steady rhythm of nights, who can work independently and who value flexible, direct relationships with families. Many of our carers who cover Bickley also pick up calls in nearby areas such as Bromley Common, Widmore, Widmore Green, Petts Wood, Locksbottom and Chislehurst.

What you can expect when you join PrimeCarers:

  • Choose your clients and hours. You decide which night shifts you accept and how far you’ll travel around Bickley and Bromley.
  • Set your own rates. Carers on PrimeCarers are self‑employed and set their own rates (typical £17–£19 per hour).
  • We handle the admin. PrimeCarers finds clients, manages contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work.

To join you need at least 1 year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check. If you don’t yet have an up‑to‑date DBS, PrimeCarers can help arrange one. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification.

Many carers move to PrimeCarers after agency work because they want control over hours, rates and clients. If you value clear terms, being paid through a platform that handles invoicing, and insurance cover while you’re on shift, this might be a good fit. You’ll remain self‑employed, so you keep autonomy over how you deliver care in Bickley and the surrounding Bromley borough.
