Description
Night care assistants provide waking or sleeping-night support in a person's own home so families can rest. In Eastcote you'll be helping people stay safe and comfortable through the night — gentle personal care, prompt medication checks, reassurance and supporting mobility as needed. You can work waking nights or sleeping nights, depending on what suits you and the people you support.
Right now, 188 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
These opportunities are for self-employed carers who want more control than traditional agency work. You choose which clients to work with in Eastcote and across nearby areas such as Rayners Lane, North Harrow, Pinner, Ruislip, West Harrow and South Harrow. You set your own rates and hours, and you decide how far you want to travel.
Pay and shift types vary by client and need. Typical pay sits around £17–£19.89 per hour, with hourly-care and live-in day ranges shown on our platform as £18.80–£20.50 per hour and £145–£160 per day respectively. PrimeCarers handles contracts, invoicing and payments for you, and provides insurance cover while you work.
This style of night care suits experienced, trustworthy carers who value consistency and autonomy. You might prefer night work because you want daytime free, want fewer but longer shifts, or because you find the overnight rhythm rewarding. Many carers in Hillingdon who move from agency roles say they enjoy choosing clients and building longer-term night-time relationships.
- Who can apply — You need at least 1 year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this) and verifiable references.
- What PrimeCarers does — We match you with families looking for self-employed night care, manage contracts and payments, and include insurance while you are on shift.
- How flexible it is — You pick the nights, the neighbourhoods within your service area, and the clients you accept. Many carers combine night work with daytime commitments or other self-employed roles.
