Night Care Assistant Jobs in London

Overnight care on PrimeCarers means supporting someone in their own home through waking or sleeping nights so families can rest. You’ll work as a self-employed carer, choosing the clients, hours and service area that suit you across London, including Westminster and nearby neighbourhoods such as Charing Cross, Chinatown, Covent Garden, St Jamess, St Giles and Lee.

Right now, 228 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This type of work suits experienced carers who want steady, meaningful nights rather than agency rotas. Typical night duties include wellbeing checks, personal care as agreed with the family, medication prompts, positional changes, and being a calm, reliable presence. Some shifts are for waking nights and others for sleeping nights with on-call responsibilities — the exact duties are agreed with each family so you know what’s expected before you accept a booking.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rate and can expect typical pay in the range £17–£19 per hour depending on your experience and the client’s needs. You decide which jobs to accept, which hours to work and how far you’re willing to travel across London. That means more control over your working life compared with agency nights, and the freedom to build long-term relationships with families in Westminster and other parts of the city.

PrimeCarers takes care of the administrative side: we introduce you to families, handle contracts, invoicing and secure payments, and provide insurance while you’re working. That frees you to focus on care, not paperwork. Many carers find this model gives them reliable night work while keeping the flexibility to manage daytime commitments.

• Who we’re looking for: at least 1 year of professional care experience.
• Checks & references: an Enhanced DBS is required (we can help arrange one) and verifiable references are needed.
• Eligibility: the right to work in the UK is essential.

Applying takes minutes — create a profile, add your experience and references, and we’ll begin verification. Profiles typically go live within days of checks being completed, after which families in London can see your profile and invite you to interviews. If you want more regular night work around Westminster or elsewhere in London, PrimeCarers helps match you to families who value continuity and professional care.

If you’re an experienced carer looking to leave agency rotas and take control of your nights, PrimeCarers makes it straightforward to work on your terms while keeping the protections you need. Create your profile today and be ready to accept night assignments that fit your life and skills.
