Overnight Carer Jobs in Ruxley

Work nights in Ruxley supporting people in their own homes so families can rest. Overnight roles here include waking nights or sleeping nights, with a focus on companionship, medication prompts, personal care where needed and calm, professional supervision until morning. You’ll be working directly for families in Ruxley and the surrounding area, including Foots Cray, Upper Ruxley, North Cray, Albany Park, Sidcup and St Pauls Cray. Right now, 179 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This is ongoing self-employed work rather than a single shift. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own hours and rates, choose the clients they accept and decide how wide an area they’ll cover. Typical pay for this kind of overnight care sits at £17–£19 per hour; many carers set their own hourly and live-in ranges to match experience and travel time (see £18.80–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day for typical ranges).

Overnight work suits experienced carers who are confident working autonomously at night, keeping people safe, spotting needs early and liaising with families and other professionals. If you’re used to agency nights but want more control over who you support and when, PrimeCarers helps you make that change while staying self-employed and independent in how you run your work in Ruxley and neighbouring Bexley.

PrimeCarers finds local clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments for you. Insurance is included while you’re working through the platform, and the team can help arrange an Enhanced DBS if you need one. To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (we can help), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

Applying takes minutes. You complete a profile, upload references and DBS details (or request help with a new check) and PrimeCarers will verify you—profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can start hearing from families around Ruxley, Foots Cray and the other nearby communities quickly.
