Night Care Assistant Jobs in Blackfen

Work overnight in Blackfen supporting adults who need waking or sleeping night care so families can rest. These ongoing opportunities suit experienced carers who want control over where and when they work — you choose clients, hours and service area and set your own rates. Right now, 197 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Night duties can include checking on a client at agreed intervals, supporting medication prompts, providing personal care, comfort and companionship, and handling low-level changes in need through the night. Shifts vary: some clients need waking nights with regular checks, others need sleeping nights with visits if required. All work is in people’s own homes across Blackfen and nearby areas such as Falconwood, Welling, Lamorbey, Blendon, Old Bexley and Crook Log.

This role fits carers who are calm under pressure, reliable and used to working independently. If you’ve been working agency nights but want more control over your roster and rates, switching to self-employed work through PrimeCarers lets you avoid long commutes or fixed rotas while keeping the professional rewards of night care. You’ll be working as self-employed and free to accept or decline assignments that suit you.

Pay is set by each carer and varies by client and shift length. Typical ranges are £17–£19 per hour for overnight work, with £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly night care and £145–£160 per day for live-in day rates where applicable. PrimeCarers handles client-finding, contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work, so you can focus on care.

To join you need at least 1 year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one) and verifiable references. We do not list a single role here — this page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities across Blackfen and the Bexley area. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

If you want night work that fits your life in Blackfen, with the freedom to set rates and choose hours, creating a profile is the first step. You’ll keep doing the hands-on care you’re trained for while PrimeCarers looks after the admin and client matching.
