Description

Overnight care in Hammersmith means supporting someone in their own home through the night so their family can rest. Roles vary from waking nights—providing hands-on care, medication prompts and mobility support—to sleeping nights where you remain on-site and available. You’ll work directly with families across Hammersmith and Fulham and nearby areas such as West Kensington, Holland Park, Earls Court, West Brompton, Barnes and Fulham. Right now, 229 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This listing advertises ongoing self‑employed opportunities, not one specific role. Carers on PrimeCarers are self‑employed: you set your own rates, choose the clients you accept, and pick the hours and service area that suit you. Typical rates for overnight care range from £17–£19.20 per hour; many carers quote within £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly care or £145–£160 per day for live‑in day rates depending on duties and client needs.

Overnight care suits experienced carers who value quieter, more focused shifts and want greater control than agency work often allows. You’ll be a good fit if you have at least one year of professional care experience, verifiable references, the right to work in the UK and an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one). We expect carers to be capable of basic medication administration, personal care and occasional moving and handling tasks; specific requirements are always agreed with each family.

PrimeCarers makes the practical stuff easier: we introduce you to families, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re working on a job. You remain self‑employed throughout and free to refuse proposals that don’t fit. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification. When you’re matched, families contact you directly to discuss schedules and duties.

If you’re thinking of leaving agency rotas for something steadier and more flexible in Hammersmith, this is a way to keep doing the work you care about while taking control of your time and rates. Many carers who join PrimeCarers continue to work locally and build long‑term relationships with families across Hammersmith and neighbouring communities.

To apply, create your profile, upload references and your DBS (or request help arranging one), and complete verification. It only takes a few minutes to start. We’ll review your documents and let you know when your profile is live so you can start seeing overnight care opportunities.
