Overnight Carer Jobs in Margate

Overnight care in Margate means supporting a client in their own home through waking or sleeping nights so families can rest. You’ll work nights—providing reassurance, medication prompts, repositioning, or quiet observation—depending on what a family needs. These are ongoing self-employed opportunities across Margate and the surrounding area.
Right now, 8 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This role suits experienced carers who prefer nights: people who are reliable, calm, and used to working independently. You can choose waking nights when active support is needed or sleeping nights when your presence and quick response are the priorities. Work takes place in people’s homes across Margate and nearby towns such as St. Peters, Botany Bay, Westgate on Sea, Broadstairs, Ramsgate and Minster in Kent. You remain self-employed, set your own hours and decide which clients you’ll accept.

Pay and flexibility are in your hands. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and typically charge in the range £17–£19 per hour for overnight work. You pick the hours, the area you cover and the clients you want to work with. PrimeCarers finds matches, handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you are working.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange one if you need it), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We’ll ask to check these before your profile goes live so families can book with confidence.

• What you’ll do: Support clients overnight in their own home—routine checks, assistance with toileting or moving, medication reminders, or staying nearby in case of change.
• Who this fits: Carers used to working nights, comfortable with independent practice, and looking to leave agency rotas for more control.
• Requirements: One year’s care experience, Enhanced DBS, right to work in the UK, and references.

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload documents and references, and we’ll verify you. Profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once live, PrimeCarers starts matching you with families in Margate and around Kent. You remain self-employed throughout, choose each client, and can update your availability or rates at any time.
