Overnight Carer Jobs in Charlton

If you already provide waking or sleeping nights and want more control over who you support, PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families in Charlton and the surrounding area. Overnight care is about being present, vigilant and compassionate so families can sleep safely while their loved one stays at home. Right now, 212 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Overnight roles typically include observation, personal care if needed, simple night‑time prompting, and being available in case of an emergency. Some nights are waking shifts where your full attention is needed; others are sleeping nights where you are on call. These opportunities suit experienced carers who want to keep delivering high-quality care without agency rota restrictions. Many carers moving from agency work tell us they appreciate the simpler admin and local focus around Charlton and nearby areas such as Westcombe Park, Silvertown, Blackheath Royal Standard, Maze Hill, North Woolwich and Woolwich and parts of Greenwich.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own terms: choose clients, hours and your service area, and set your fees within the typical market bands (typical rates are £17–£19 per hour). You can list choices for waking or sleeping nights and decide whether you’ll take single nights, regular weekly patterns or live‑in day work. If you prefer information about typical ranges for hourly or live‑in day work, you’ll see £18.80–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day on your profile once verified.

PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re booked for a shift. That means less time chasing paperwork and more time doing the care work you prefer. We introduce you to families so you can choose the right matches for your skills and availability in Charlton and neighbouring communities.

• What we need from you: at least 1 year of professional care experience.
• Checks: an Enhanced DBS check is required (PrimeCarers can help arrange one).
• Eligibility: the right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

These are ongoing self‑employed opportunities rather than a single role. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification. If you’re based in Charlton and want to keep delivering overnight care on terms that suit you, create a profile and start choosing the nights that fit your life.
