Description

Overnight care in Primrose Hill means supporting someone through the night in their own home so families can rest. You might be doing waking nights offering active support, or sleeping nights where you remain on-site and respond when needed. Right now, 233 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Night shifts vary: assisting with personal care, medication checks, repositioning, monitoring breathing or mobility, and offering reassurance. Work is in clients' homes around Primrose Hill and nearby areas such as Chalk Farm, Camden Town, Kentish Town, Belsize Park, Swiss Cottage and St Johns Wood, with occasional placements closer to central Camden. These roles suit experienced carers who prefer steady, predictable nights and want more control than traditional agency work.

All opportunities on PrimeCarers are for self-employed carers. You set your own rates and choose which clients, hours and service area you’ll work in. Typical rates fall in £17–£19.10 per hour. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments — insurance is included while you work. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification.

Joining is straightforward but we do ask for core safeguards. To register you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you don’t already hold one). We check references and ID during verification so families can trust the carers they invite into their homes.

If you’re used to agency nights but want more flexibility, PrimeCarers lets you keep the control: choose waking or sleeping nights, accept only clients you’re comfortable with and set the hours that suit your life. PrimeCarers looks after the paperwork and payments so you can focus on care and your own schedule.

How to apply: create a profile, upload ID and references and tell us about your overnight experience. Applying takes minutes and many profiles go live within days of verification. Once your profile is live you’ll be visible to families in Primrose Hill and the wider Camden area, and you can start discussing shifts directly with them as a self-employed carer.

If you want steady night work, more control over your hours and clearer admin support without agency constraints, register with PrimeCarers and join the Primrose Hill network of overnight carers.
