Night care can mean sitting with a client and being available through the night, carrying out personal care when needed, supporting transfers, prompting medication, carrying out observations and keeping clear records. You’ll work in clients’ homes across North Woolwich and neighbouring areas such as Woolwich, Silvertown, Beckton, Plumstead, Charlton and Creekmouth. Many carers prefer nights because they fit family life or daytime commitments and because they offer continuity of support for one client at a time.

Pay and working pattern are decided by you: carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates. Typical pay for this kind of work falls within £17–£19.80 per hour. You can offer hourly overnight care within £19–£21.10 per hour or live-in day rates shown as £148–£165 per day if you provide longer cover. PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included while you work—so you can focus on care.

This type of role suits experienced carers who value autonomy. If you’ve worked nights before, want to leave agency rota pressures, or prefer one-to-one overnight shifts, this approach lets you choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Many carers who join PrimeCarers continue working in Newham while keeping control of their work-life balance.
