Description

Overnight care in Hither Green means supporting people through the night so families can rest. Whether you’re doing waking nights or sleeping nights, you’ll help with reassurance, personal care, medication prompts, repositioning and simple record-keeping — all in the service user’s own home. Families value calm, experienced carers who work discreetly and respectfully at night.

Right now, 148 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This platform is built for experienced carers who want more control. On PrimeCarers you work as a self-employed Night Care Assistant: you set your own rates, choose the clients and hours that suit you, and pick your service area around Hither Green and nearby neighbourhoods like Catford, Ladywell, Kidbrooke, Blackheath, Crofton Park and Horn Park. Carers typically set rates within a local range (typical rates: £17–£19.80 per hour) and decide whether to take waking or sleeping night work.

PrimeCarers finds families for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments so you can focus on care. Insurance is included while you’re working on a booking, and the platform supports payments and simple paperwork. That makes it easier for carers leaving agency life to keep clinical standards while cutting the admin.

  • Who we’re looking for — 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.
  • What to expect — overnight shifts in private homes across Hither Green and Lewisham, with varying responsibilities depending on the client’s needs. You’ll agree duties and hours with each family before accepting a booking.
  • Flexibility — choose occasional nights or regular rounds. Profiles go live within days of verification and applying takes minutes.

Night work suits carers who are used to working independently, who can manage personal care and observation, and who communicate clearly with families. If you’re thinking about moving away from rota-driven agency nights, PrimeCarers lets you keep professional control while still having support when you need it.

Shifts are arranged directly with families through the platform and you remain self-employed — you decide which offers to accept. PrimeCarers does not promise a set income, but it makes it straightforward to find ongoing night work in Hither Green, Lewisham and surrounding areas.
