Night Care Assistant Jobs in South Croydon

Work overnight in South Croydon supporting people in their own homes — waking or sleeping nights where your experience helps families finally rest. These ongoing, self-employed opportunities are ideal if you want to move away from rigid rotas and agency-imposed pay bands.

Right now, 199 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

As a night care assistant you’ll provide compassionate, practical support during the night: observing and recording, assisting with personal care when needed, supporting mobility, prompting medication as agreed in the care plan, and offering reassurance so the household can sleep. A night shift can be active (waking) or largely supervisory (sleeping) depending on the client's needs and what you agree with the family.

This work suits experienced carers who value quieter, focused shifts and who want control over their working life. On PrimeCarers you are self-employed — you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Typical rates for night care are £17–£19 per hour. You can pick short local runs in South Croydon or cover Croydon-wide posts and nearby areas like Waddon, Beddington, Purley, Selsdon, Sanderstead and Addiscombe.

PrimeCarers finds the clients and takes care of contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included while you work. That means less paperwork for you and more time for care. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification.

To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), and verifiable references. We’ll verify these quickly so you can start choosing nights in South Croydon soon after applying.
