Night Care Assistant Jobs in Brentford

Night care assistants provide waking or sleeping night support in someone’s own home so families can rest. In Brentford and nearby areas — including Hounslow — you might support people with dementia, long-term conditions or post-hospital recovery, working through the night to reassure, assist with personal care, medication prompts and safety checks while the family sleeps.

Right now, 161 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This work suits experienced carers who value the quieter focus of nights and want more control than traditional agency work. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates, choose the clients, hours and the area you’ll cover. Typical pay sits around £17–£20 per hour for night care, but many carers set different rates for waking nights, sleeping nights or live-in day work to suit their circumstances.

What you’ll do depends on each client’s needs. Tasks commonly include gentle personal care, turning and repositioning, observation and record-keeping, prompting medications and being present and responsive to any night-time needs. You will not be asked to do anything outside your skillset or agreed plan — families and PrimeCarers look for experienced, reliable professionals who can work independently overnight.

Requirements to join are straightforward: at least one 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. You’ll also need to confirm your ID and references during verification.

PrimeCarers finds you local clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments so you can focus on care. Insurance is included while you’re working through bookings handled by the platform, and payment is processed without you chasing invoices. Many Brentford-based carers appreciate that PrimeCarers takes care of admin while they keep clinical control and direct relationships with families.

Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. You’ll be able to indicate the nights you prefer, whether you’re open to waking or sleeping shifts and how far from Brentford you’ll travel — for example to Kew, Gunnersbury, Isleworth, Osterley, Richmond and West Ealing. This is an ongoing opportunity for self-employed night carers, not a single role, so you can accept bookings that fit your life.

If you’re ready to move away from rigid rotas and reclaim control of your nights in Brentford and Hounslow, create your PrimeCarers profile and start seeing suitable families within days.
