Description
Overnight care in Lisson Grove means supporting people at home through waking or sleeping nights so families can finally rest. You’ll be working in clients’ own homes, offering reassurance, medication prompting, personal care or simply a calm presence – whatever each family needs to sleep easier. Right now, 235 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
These are ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than a single placement. You decide which clients to accept, the hours you’ll work and the area you cover around Lisson Grove and beyond into Little Venice, St Johns Wood, St John's, Paddington, Maida Vale and Marylebone. Many carers who move from agency work choose nights because they prefer the continuity, quieter environments and chance to build trust with a small number of families. PrimeCarers supports that independence: carers set their own rates and flexibility, with typical pay shown as £17–£19.30 per hour.
The practical bits are taken care of for you. PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included while you work on a booking. You remain self-employed, so you invoice for the shifts you accept and keep control over your schedule. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
This role suits experienced carers who have at least a year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one) and verifiable references. You’ll need the confidence to work overnight and the observational skills to manage sleep, medication schedules and any changes in a person’s condition. Training needs vary by client and can be discussed before you accept a booking.
If you’re based in Lisson Grove or nearby and want more control over your working life — picking nights that fit around family or daytime commitments, choosing who you support and setting your own rates — PrimeCarers can make it straightforward. You’ll remain self-employed, supported by a platform that handles the paperwork so you can focus on care. To apply, create a profile, upload your DBS and references and complete verification; many carers are live and booking shifts within days.
