Description
PrimeCarers connects experienced, self‑employed carers with families in Hampstead looking for overnight support at home. Nights can be waking shifts — actively supporting a client — or sleeping nights where you remain on site and respond if needed. You choose which clients, which hours and how far you’ll travel across Hampstead and the surrounding area, including Hamstead, Frognal, Belsize Park, Swiss Cottage, Childs Hill and West Hampstead.
Right now, 230 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
This work suits carers who want control and predictable, respectful night work. Many carers who move from agency work find overnight shifts let them build steady patterns, stay local and balance daytime commitments. Rates are set by you; typical bookings on the platform fall in the range £17–£19.50 per hour depending on the client’s needs and whether nights are waking or sleeping.
PrimeCarers handles the admin so you can focus on care. We find clients, manage contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. You remain fully self‑employed: you create your profile, set your rates and accept assignments that fit your availability. Families in Hampstead and Camden use our platform when they need dependable night carers who can help them rest.
To join 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 arrange this) and verifiable references. We verify your documents quickly so your profile can go live within days once everything is confirmed. Applying takes minutes and the platform is designed to make swapping agency rotas for self‑employed nights straightforward.
How the nights typically look: you may be asked to provide regular checks, personal care, medication prompts or to be available for assistance during a sleeping night. All roles are agreed with families beforehand — you choose the level of involvement you’re comfortable with. If you want more daytime work too, many carers combine overnight bookings with daytime visits or short shifts across Hampstead.
We’re not advertising one fixed post — this page is for carers interested in ongoing self‑employed overnight opportunities across Hampstead. If you’re ready to take more control of your work, sign up, complete the brief verification and your profile can be live in days so families can find you for nights that suit you.

A waking night runs past six hours, so it is charged at the shift commission rate. The commission is taken out of the rate you advertise rather than added on top of it, and the VAT on it comes out of our share.
Tax is yours to sort out
Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed, so Income Tax and National Insurance come out of the take-home figure above. Nothing is deducted for you and this page does not work out what you owe. Tax and money as a self-employed carer walks through registering with HMRC and what to put aside.
