Night Care Assistant Jobs in Hornchurch

If you’re an experienced carer looking to move away from agency rota politics, PrimeCarers brings ongoing self-employed night care opportunities across Hornchurch and the wider Havering area. You’ll be offering waking or sleeping nights in a client’s own home so families can rest, while keeping full control over who you work for and when.
Right now, 103 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Night care work here ranges from gentle check-ins and medication prompts to hands-on support for people who need assistance through the night. Some nights are mostly sleep with periodic checks; others are active waking nights supporting personal care, position changes or assistance with toileting. All roles are with private families in Hornchurch and nearby suburbs including Emerson Park, Upminster Bridge, Elm Park, Gidea Park, Upminster and Ardleigh Green.

This work suits carers who want more autonomy: you choose your clients, hours and service area and, as a self-employed worker on PrimeCarers, you set your own rates. Typical rates for night care are £17–£19.50 per hour, and many carers choose rates that reflect their experience and the complexity of the care required. PrimeCarers introduces you to families, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance cover for the time you work with a client.

• Experience: at least one year of professional care experience.
• Checks: an Enhanced DBS — PrimeCarers can help arrange this if needed.
• Right to work: you must have the legal right to work in the UK.
