Description

Overnight carers on PrimeCarers provide waking or sleeping nights in a client’s own home, helping families in Esher get the rest they need. Nights can include personal care, medication prompts, moving and handling support, regular checks, or being on hand for companionship — depending on each family’s agreed plan. You’ll be working directly with families as a self-employed carer, choosing the nights and clients that suit you. Right now, 193 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This kind of work suits experienced carers who value overnight work for its focused hours and quiet, meaningful shifts. Many carers who move to PrimeCarers tell us they appreciate the contrast with agency rota life — the ability to accept specific nights, arrange a sensible travel area around Esher and surrounding spots, and build strong relationships with a small number of families. You can cover Esher and nearby areas such as Walton on Thames, Malden Rushett, Chessington, Hampton, Surbiton and Berrylands while keeping your base in Surrey.

Pay and flexibility are in your hands. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates; typical paid ranges for overnight work are around £17–£20 per hour. You choose the clients, the hours and the service area that suit your life. PrimeCarers helps find matches, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work, so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.

To join you’ll need:

  • At least 1 year of professional care experience
  • An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one)
  • The right to work in the UK
  • Verifiable references from recent care roles

We’re advertising ongoing self-employed opportunities in Esher, not one specific role. Applying takes minutes: create your profile, upload documents and references, and we’ll verify what’s needed. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and from there you can review enquiries and accept nights that fit your diary. There’s no pressure to accept anything you don’t want — you remain in control of your work.
