Description
Overnight care in Bowes Park means supporting people in their own homes through waking or sleeping nights so families can rest. You’ll be offering companionship, reassurance, personal care when needed and a calm, consistent presence. These are ongoing self-employed opportunities across Bowes Park and nearby areas in Haringey, not one specific role. Right now, 221 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
We work with self-employed carers who want to move away from agency routines and take control of their hours, clients and work area. As a PrimeCarers carer you set your own rates and keep control of your diary. Typical work for overnight carers includes assisting with medication checks, moving and positioning, personal care when required, supporting night-time routines and being ready to respond to any incidents — either as waking nights or sleeping nights depending on the client’s needs.
Pay is flexible and depends on the rates you set; many carers on the platform charge between £17–£19 per hour. You decide which shifts you take, how far you’ll travel and whether to accept live-in or nightly work. PrimeCarers finds clients for you, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work, so you can focus on care not paperwork.
This work suits experienced carers who value consistency and want to build rewarding, ongoing relationships with families across Bowes Park and the surrounding neighbourhoods, including Bounds Green, Wood Green, New Southgate, Arnos Grove, Palmers Green and Turnpike Lane. You’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS is required; PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you don’t already have it.
Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. You’ll be able to review client requests and decline any shift that doesn’t fit your needs. If you’re used to the unpredictability of agency nights and want steadier, self-directed work in Bowes Park, this is a practical next step.
We’re looking for reliable, compassionate people who understand the responsibilities of overnight care and want to be paid fairly for their expertise. If you’re based in Bowes Park, or travel from nearby parts of Haringey, creating a profile is quick and starts the process of matching you with families who need steady night support.

A waking night runs past six hours, so it is charged at the shift commission rate. The commission is taken out of the rate you advertise rather than added on top of it, and the VAT on it comes out of our share.
