Description
Work overnight in Hackney Wick supporting adults in their own homes with waking or sleeping nights so families can rest. You’ll be working directly for clients as a self-employed carer, choosing which nights you take and how you deliver care, whether that’s active night checks, personal care, or quiet bedside support.
Right now, 160 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
These roles suit experienced carers who value independence. If you’re used to agency life but want more control, PrimeCarers lets you set your own hours, choose your clients and define your service area around Hackney Wick and nearby neighbourhoods. You remain self-employed and set your own rates; typical pay sits around £17–£20 per hour for night care. You can take waking nights, sleeping nights or a mix depending on what you and the family agree.
PrimeCarers finds clients and handles the paperwork: we arrange contracts, invoicing and payments on your behalf, and include insurance while you work. That means you keep the flexibility of being self-employed without carrying all the admin. You still decide the radius you’ll travel in, and many carers take work around Hackney Marshes, Old Ford, Homerton, Victoria Park, Bow and South Hackney as well as across Hackney Wick.
To apply 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 with this) and verifiable references. We do not offer direct employment — roles advertised through PrimeCarers are self-employed opportunities. You’ll be expected to manage your own tax and National Insurance as a self-employed person.
Applying takes just minutes. Create a profile, submit your documents and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. Families contact you directly and you choose which bookings to accept. If you want support with paperwork or DBS checks, our team can guide you through the steps so you can get started quickly in Hackney Wick.
If you’re ready for more control over your nights, fewer rota surprises and direct relationships with families across Hackney and Hackney Wick, PrimeCarers is built for carers like you. Set your hours, pick your clients and keep the work you want in the places you know best.
