Overnight Carer Jobs in Crystal Palace

Work as an overnight carer in Crystal Palace, providing waking or sleeping nights to support a client in their own home so families can rest. These ongoing self-employed roles are ideal if you want the freedom to choose who you work with, when you work and where you travel. Right now, 223 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Overnight care can be focused or varied: some shifts are waking nights assisting with personal care, medication and companionship; others are sleeping nights with regular checks and the ability to respond when needed. You’ll discuss the needs of each family before accepting a booking so you know whether a shift is for waking or sleeping nights.

This is a self-employed route — you set your own rates within the local market and pick the jobs that suit you. Typical pay for these roles is £17–£19 per hour. Many carers set rates within the range of £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly overnight work or choose live‑in day rates such as £145–£160 per day when that’s the agreement. PrimeCarers finds local clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work so you can focus on care rather than admin.

These roles suit experienced, practical carers who are comfortable working independently overnight and who prefer control over shifts.
