Description
Overnight care in Kew means supporting someone at home through the night — either awake and hands-on or present for sleeping nights so families can rest. These are ongoing, self-employed roles that suit experienced carers who want more control over how and where they work in Kew and the wider Richmond upon Thames area. Right now, 233 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
On PrimeCarers you work for yourself. You set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Most night shifts on the platform sit within £17–£19.60 per hour, with hourly and live‑in ranges shown on profiles as £18.80–£20.30 per hour and £145–£160 per day. You decide whether you take waking nights, sleeping nights, or a mix — and whether you work in Kew, nearby neighbourhoods or further afield.
This kind of work suits experienced carers who want to move away from agency rotas without losing the certainty of steady bookings. Nights can be quieter and more predictable than days, and they often let families sleep knowing a trusted professional is on duty. If you live in or near Kew you’ll find opportunities close by and in surrounding areas such as North Sheen, East Sheen, Mortlake, Chiswick, Richmond and Gunnersbury.
PrimeCarers connects you directly with families and handles the paperwork so you can concentrate on care. We manage contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work for clients found through the platform. You remain self‑employed at all times and free to accept or decline any request that comes your way.
What we ask for
- At least 1 year of professional care experience
- An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one)

Applying takes minutes and your profile can be active in a matter of days once verified. We’ll guide you through setting your rates, writing your profile and getting any checks in place. You won’t be tied to fixed shifts — accept the night work that fits your life and income goals.

You work as a self‑employed carer, so you set the rates you want and choose which requests to accept. You also pick the service area, days and nights you’ll cover.
We ask for at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
