Description
Looking for reliable overnight care work in East Ham that respects your experience and your time? PrimeCarers connects self‑employed carers with families who need waking or sleeping nights so relatives can rest. You decide the hours you take, who you support and the area you’ll travel to. Right now, 146 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Overnight care can mean staying awake to support mobility, medicines or personal care through the night, or providing a sleeping-night presence while remaining available if needs change. Roles are flexible: short blocks, full nights or regular weekly nights, and many carers balance night work with other daytime commitments in East Ham and across Newham.
As a PrimeCarers carer you are self‑employed and set your own rates. Typical ranges for this kind of role are £17–£19.89 per hour. You’ll also see the typical hourly and live‑in ranges listed on profiles: £18.89–£21 per hour and £148–£163.50 per day. We help you find clients, manage contracts, take care of invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re working.
This way of working suits experienced carers who want more control than agency shifts allow. If you’re used to agencies but want to choose your clients, keep your existing hours or increase earnings by setting a rate that reflects your skills, PrimeCarers could be a good fit. We work across East Ham and nearby areas including Upton Park, Plaistow, Barking, Manor Park, Forest Gate and Little Ilford.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help you arrange one) and verifiable references. When you apply, it only takes minutes to create a profile. Profiles are typically verified and go live within days, so you can start seeing opportunities quickly.
We’re upfront: PrimeCarers advertises ongoing self‑employed opportunities rather than specific shifts.
