Description
Work nights in Goodmayes supporting adults in their own homes so families can rest. These roles cover waking nights or sleeping nights, offering companionship, assistance with medication, moving and repositioning, or call‑out support as agreed with each client. You’ll be working as a self-employed carer, choosing your clients, hours and the area you cover, and setting your own rates — many carers in the area use £17–£18.70 per hour as a guide.
PrimeCarers connects you with families across Goodmayes and wider Redbridge, handles client matching, draws up contracts, manages invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working. You keep control of how you work: pick the clients that suit you, accept the nights you want and build the routine that fits your life.
Who this suits
These ongoing, self-employed opportunities are for experienced carers who want an alternative to agency rota work. Nights are ideal if you’re calm under pressure, respectful of people’s homes and comfortable supporting someone through the night — whether that means active checks and personal care on waking nights or quieter sleeping nights with occasional checks. Goodmayes carers who want flexible night work alongside other daytime commitments find this a good fit.
Pay, flexibility and areas covered
You set your own rates and choose which nights to accept. Typical local rates are shown as £17–£18.70 per hour and you can adjust your price based on your experience and the level of care required. You also decide the service area you’ll work in — many carers take roles in and around Goodmayes and nearby towns including Seven Kings, Becontree, Becontree Heath, Newbury Park, Aldborough Hatch and Chadwell Heath.
What we need from you
