Description

Overnight care in Oakleigh Park means supporting people in their own homes through waking or sleeping nights so families can rest. As a self-employed carer you’ll provide reassurance, safety checks, medication prompts and companionship when needed — nights are often quieter but deeply important. Right now, 212 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

PrimeCarers connects experienced carers with families around Oakleigh Park and the wider Enfield area. You choose the jobs you want, your service area, the hours you’ll accept and the rate you charge. Typical pay for this type of work is £17–£19 per hour, and because you set your own rate you can balance income and lifestyle on your terms.

Overnight roles vary: some clients need a carer to be awake, helping with regular turning, toileting or medication, while others need a sleeping-night presence with periodic checks. You don’t have to commit to one pattern — pick waking or sleeping nights that suit you. Work often comes from nearby areas including Whetstone, Brunswick Park, Barnet, East Barnet, Totteridge and North Finchley, so you can build a local schedule without long travel.

This route suits experienced, confident carers who want to move away from rotas and agency constraints. If you have at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references, you can apply. PrimeCarers takes care of contracts, invoicing and payments for the shifts you accept, and provides insurance while you work through the platform.

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload your documents and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. You remain self-employed at all times — you choose clients, hours and service area, and set your own rates. We never advertise a single job here; we list ongoing self-employed opportunities across Oakleigh Park so you can pick what fits your life.

How to get started: sign up, complete verification, and review client requests that match your skills and availability. If you’d like help with an Enhanced DBS or with setting a competitive hourly figure, our team can advise. Many carers find overnight work a great way to steady income while keeping days free — whether you’re local to Oakleigh Park or covering shifts across Enfield and neighbouring towns, this is flexible, meaningful work on your terms.
