Description

Overnight care in Childs Hill means supporting people in their own homes through waking or sleeping nights so families can rest. You’ll be working with clients who need reassurance, medication prompts, repositioning or just company during the night; some shifts are active waking nights, others are sleeping nights with call-outs. Right now, 223 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

If you’re an experienced carer thinking about leaving agency work, PrimeCarers is built for people who want control. Carers on our platform are self‑employed: you set your own rates, choose the clients you take on, and pick the hours and service area that suit you. PrimeCarers finds families, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working.

Rates for overnight care vary by client and need, and most carers on the platform work within a competitive range of £17–£19.50 per hour. You decide whether you prefer regular nights in the same home, occasional cover, or shorter block bookings. Many carers combine nights in Childs Hill with work in nearby areas including Golders Green, Frognal, Cricklewood, West Hampstead, Hamstead and Hampstead and around Enfield.

  • Who this suits: carers with at least one year of professional care experience who want the freedom to choose when and where they work, and who value continuity of care for clients.
  • What we ask: an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references.

These are ongoing self‑employed opportunities, not a single role. Applying takes just minutes and most profiles go live within days of verification. Once verified you can browse or be matched with families in Childs Hill and across Enfield, pick shifts that fit your schedule, and manage bookings through the platform.

PrimeCarers keeps payment simple — we invoice and collect from families, then pay you, removing admin from your nights. Insurance is included for the time you are on shift and we’ll support you with contracts and paperwork so you can focus on care. If you want reliable overnight work close to home in Childs Hill, with the flexibility to choose your nights and set your rates, it’s quick to apply and start being matched with families.
