Description
PrimeCarers is connecting experienced carers with families in Oval and the wider Lambeth area who need overnight support — waking or sleeping nights caring for someone in their own home so relatives can rest. You’ll work as a self-employed carer, choose the clients you accept, set your own rates and pick the hours and neighbourhoods you cover. Right now, 224 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Overnight shifts vary: some nights are waking, providing hands-on support and checks; others are sleep nights where you remain on-site and respond as needed. These roles suit carers who prefer concentrated overnight hours, want to avoid split daytime shifts, or are ready to move away from agency rotas towards more control. Typical pay falls around £17–£19 per hour, with many carers setting rates to reflect experience, specialist skills and travel.
You’ll usually be working in private homes across Oval and nearby areas such as Kennington, Walworth, Stockwell, Camberwell, Millbank and Elephant and Castle. PrimeCarers finds clients and handles the contracts, invoicing and payments for you. Insurance is included while you are working through the platform, so you can focus on the care rather than paperwork.
Requirements to join are straightforward: 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. If you already have these in place, applying takes minutes; many profiles go live within days of verification. If you’re transitioning from agency work, this is a practical way to keep doing nights while taking control of your hours and earnings.
When you join, you remain fully self-employed. You decide which clients and nights to accept, and you set the rates that reflect your skills and availability. PrimeCarers supports bookings, payments and client communication so you can concentrate on high-quality overnight care in Oval and throughout Lambeth.
To apply, create a profile, upload your ID, references and DBS (or ask us to start one). We’ll verify your documents, then you’ll begin receiving client enquiries matched to your availability. Profiles typically go live within days, and most carers tell us the setup only takes a few minutes. If you value predictable overnight shifts, clearer admin and being in charge of your working life, PrimeCarers offers ongoing self-employed opportunities across Oval.
