Description

PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers in Greenford with families who need overnight support — waking or sleeping nights — so relatives can rest knowing a skilled carer is on duty. You’ll support people in their own homes with personalised care: monitoring, reassurance, helping with medications, repositioning, light personal care and companionship through the night. Right now, 226 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Overnight care suits experienced carers who prefer quieter, focused work and want to balance life around a schedule they control. Many of the roles are single-person, domiciliary nights where practical observation, safe moving and handling, record-keeping and clear communication with family or day teams matter most. You’ll choose waking or sleeping nights depending on your experience and what the client needs. Typical pay is £17–£19.50 per hour and you set your own rate as a self-employed carer.

Working via PrimeCarers means you pick your clients, hours and service area. We find clients, manage contracts, take care of invoicing and payments, and provide insurance included while you work. You remain self-employed throughout and can accept only the shifts that suit you. Many carers on the platform work across Greenford and neighbouring towns such as Brompton, Perivale, Northolt, Hanwell, West Ealing and Yeading.

Who this suits:

  • Carers with at least 1 year of professional care experience who want more control than traditional agency work.
  • Carers comfortable with night-time observations, safe handling and clear notes.
  • People who value continuity of care and building relationships with the families they support.

Minimum requirements to join PrimeCarers:

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

We make it straightforward to switch from agency-style nights to self-employed work. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. PrimeCarers handles the admin so you can focus on caring: contracts, invoicing and payments are managed for you, with insurance included while you work. If you live in Ealing or nearby, nights in Greenford are often a flexible, reliable option for experienced carers.

To apply, create your profile, upload your DBS and references and tell us about the nights you can work. Once verified, you’ll be able to see local night opportunities and choose the clients and shifts that suit you.
