Overnight Carer Jobs in Catford

Overnight care in Catford means supporting people who need help through the night so families can sleep. That can be waking nights — active personal care, medication checks and companionship — or sleeping nights where you stay in the home and are available if needed. If you’re used to agency nights but want more control over who you work for and when, this could suit you.

Right now, 214 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

PrimeCarers is an introductory platform linking self-employed carers with families in Catford and across Lewisham. You set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Many carers who join take jobs at typical rates of £17–£19 per hour, set their own shift lengths and build a pattern that fits their life.

The kind of work varies. Typical overnight tasks include personal care, repositioning, pressure-relief checks, recording notes, and low-level companionship. You may cover single nights, regular weekly nights or a mix of waking and sleeping support. These are ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than one-off roles — you pick what you want to accept.

Who this suits: experienced carers with at least one year of professional care experience who want independence from rota-driven agency life. It’s a good fit if you value reliable invoicing, professional contracts handled for you, and insurance while you work — but still want to be your own boss.

Requirements to join:

• Minimum one year of professional care experience
• Right to work in the UK
• Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one)
• Verifiable references from recent roles

PrimeCarers handles client matching, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. You remain self-employed: you choose clients, set hours and decide your working area — you may pick shifts in Catford or nearby Hither Green, Ladywell, Crofton Park, Honor Oak, Lower Sydenham and Brockley. Travel time and expenses are yours to set and discuss with families.

Pay is agreed between you and the family, and many carers find rates within the typical hourly range of £18.80–£20 per hour or choose live-in day rates shown by £145–£160 per day. PrimeCarers does not promise income levels; it gives a platform and support so you can set terms directly.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload ID and references, and we’ll verify checks. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and then you can review and accept the opportunities that suit you. If you’re used to agency nights but want to keep your independence and earn on your terms, setting your own rates and choosing clients through PrimeCarers could be the change you’re looking for in Catford and Lewisham.
