Overnight Carer Jobs in Kings Cross

Overnight care in Kings Cross means supporting a person in their own home through waking or sleeping nights so families can rest with confidence. You might be providing reassurance, personal care during the night, medication prompts or simply being on hand for unexpected needs. Many local families prefer the continuity of a regular overnight carer in Kings Cross rather than rotating agency rotas. Right now, 228 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This work suits experienced carers who want more control: you set your own hours, choose clients and decide how far you travel. PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. You set your own rates and keep the freedom to accept or decline matches. Typical earnings fall within £17–£19 per hour depending on the shift and client requirements.

Overnight roles vary. Waking nights involve active support throughout; sleeping nights mean being on-site and available if needed. Some families ask for light domestic tasks or companionship at night, others need clinical-level checks alongside personal care. You won’t be asked to cover long daytime shifts as part of the nights-only arrangement unless you choose to.

Requirements to join are straightforward: at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We ask for clear references so families can feel secure, and for a recent DBS where appropriate. You remain self-employed and responsible for your tax and NI obligations.

Pay and options: many carers list hourly rates within £18.80–£20 per hour for overnight support and use £145–£160 per day for live-in day work if they choose to offer it. You’ll invoice through PrimeCarers and get paid via the platform; we manage the paperwork so you can focus on care.

We work across Kings Cross and surrounding areas including Somerstown, Barnsbury, St Pancras, Pentonville, Camden Town and Angel. Applying takes minutes and most profiles go live within days once verification is complete. You can start seeing matches quickly and continue to choose the clients and hours that suit your life in Kings Cross or nearby Camden.

If you’d like nights that fit around family life, study or daytime work while keeping professional standards and liability cover, PrimeCarers makes it straightforward to switch from agency models to running your own client-led service. Create a profile, upload your documents and start picking the overnight shifts that work for you.
