Overnight Carer Jobs in Lambeth

Overnight carers on PrimeCarers support people in their own homes through waking or sleeping nights so families can rest.

Right now, 223 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This work suits experienced carers based in Lambeth who want control over who they work for and when. You’ll be self-employed, able to choose your clients, hours and service area across Lambeth and nearby areas such as Brixton, Westside, Clapham, Stockwell, Woodlands and Herne Hill. Many carers who move away from agency life value the flexibility of night work that fits around daytime commitments in Greater London.

Typical overnight duties include staying with a client either as a waking night (active support and monitoring) or a sleeping night (on-site availability, periodic checks). Tasks commonly involve personal care where required, reassurance, moving and repositioning with agreed support, observations and reporting, and supporting sleep routines. You should be comfortable working independently in someone’s home and keeping clear records of any care provided. Pay is set by you; typical rates are £17–£19 per hour depending on the client’s needs and your experience.

PrimeCarers takes care of the admin — we find clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re working. That means you can focus on the care while we manage bookings and paperwork. You remain self-employed: you set your own rate, accept the shifts you want and invoice through the platform.

To join you’ll need:

• At least 1 year of professional care experience
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one)
• The right to work in the UK
• Verifiable references
