Most carers on PrimeCarers set their own hours and choose the area they cover, so you can base work around life in Merton Park and nearby neighbourhoods such as South Wimbledon, Morden, Colliers Wood, Wimbledon, Raynes Park and Mitcham. Typical pay for night work falls within £17–£20 per hour, with further detail often shown as £19–£21.50 per hour for hourly care and £148–£165 per day for live-in day rates where relevant. Because you’re self-employed, you control which shifts you accept and when you work.

This role suits experienced carers who want more autonomy than traditional agency work. You’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS (PrimeCarers can help arrange this) and verifiable references. We don’t ask you to commit to a rota before you’ve seen a client’s needs — you pick the matches that feel right.

PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. That means less admin for you and clearer, on-time payments. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can begin seeing suitable night roles across Merton Park and the wider Merton area quickly.

Expect varied night care: some clients need gentle regular checks or help with toileting and moving in the night, others need reassurance and monitoring. You won’t be asked to perform tasks outside your competence — clients’ needs are shared up front so you can decide. Shifts range from single nights to regular weekly patterns depending on what you choose to accept.
