Description

Night‑time carers in North Cray offer waking or sleeping nights supporting people in their own homes so families can rest. Work varies from practical personal care and medication prompts to companionship and gentle monitoring — the kind of calm, reliable presence families need overnight. We connect self‑employed carers with families across North Cray and the surrounding area, including Bexley Village, Old Bexley, Ruxley, Foots Cray, Upper Ruxley and Blendon. Right now, 182 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

If you’re an experienced carer thinking about moving away from agency rotas, these roles are built for control and continuity. As a self‑employed carer on PrimeCarers you choose your clients, the hours you accept and the area you cover — whether you prefer nights in North Cray or visiting nearby parts of Bexley. Many carers value being able to organise work around life rather than the other way round.

Pay is set by you. Typical rates on the platform are £17–£18.89 per hour. For reference, typical hourly care is £18.80–£20 per hour and live‑in day rates render as £145–£160 per day. Because you set your rate, you can decide what reflects your experience and the level of overnight responsibility you’re comfortable with.

PrimeCarers finds the families and handles the administration so you can focus on care. We arrange contracts, manage invoicing and payments, and provide insurance cover while you’re working with a client. You remain self‑employed throughout and pick the work that fits you — from occasional waking nights to regular sleeping‑night arrangements in and around North Cray.

What you’ll need

  • At least one year of professional care experience.
  • An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you need it).
  • The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. Create a simple profile, tell us about your overnight preferences and availability, and we’ll start matching you with families looking for overnight support in North Cray and beyond. If you’d like steady night work close to home — whether in North Cray, Bexley or the nearby towns — PrimeCarers makes it straightforward to stay self‑employed while getting the support you need.
