Description
Looking after someone through the night in their own home is a special role. In Rush Green we’re connecting experienced, self‑employed carers with families who need waking or sleeping night support so relatives can rest. You’ll help with personal care, medication prompts, reassurance and safety checks during night hours while working directly with families across Rush Green and the surrounding area. Right now, 113 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
PrimeCarers is a different way of working in Havering and nearby towns like Romford, Elm Park, Chadwell Heath, Gidea Park, Hornchurch and Ardleigh Green. You set your own hours, choose the clients you want to work with and set your own rates. Overnight shifts typically fall into the range of £17–£19.20 per hour, and you decide when and how you take them.
This route suits experienced carers who want more control than agency life gives: choose waking nights or sleeping nights, block bookings or occasional shifts, and where you’ll travel within Rush Green. We find families for you and handle the contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. That means you can focus on care, not admin.
Who we’re looking for
- At least 1 year of professional care experience.
- An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if needed).
- The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
Being self‑employed means you manage your availability and accept the shifts that suit you. You’ll work directly with families in Rush Green and the wider Havering area, stocking up on night experience without losing flexibility. PrimeCarers supports the match and takes care of paperwork and payments, including insurance while you’re on shift.
Applying takes minutes. Build a profile, upload your documents and references, and after verification your profile typically goes live within days. Once live you’ll be able to review client requests and accept the nights that match your preferences and location.
If you’re ready to move away from rigid agency rotas and keep the hands‑on night work you enjoy, this is a simple way to stay in control while being supported. Create a profile, tell families what you can offer on night shifts in Rush Green, and start choosing the work that fits your life.
