Overnight Carer Jobs in South Hackney

Work as an overnight carer in South Hackney supporting people in their own homes so families can rest. Overnight roles are waking or sleeping nights: you may be awake throughout the shift providing personal care, night checks and medication prompts, or on a sleeping night with responsibility to respond if the client needs you. These roles suit experienced, calm carers who want predictable night work and more control over their time. Right now, 220 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

As a self‑employed carer on PrimeCarers you choose your clients, hours and the area you cover — whether you prefer South Hackney nights close to home or to travel into nearby areas such as Bethnal Green, Victoria Park, Cambridge Heath, Bow, Stepney and Homerton. You set your own rate and control how much you work, while PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working. Typical rates for overnight work vary; many carers advertise within £17–£19 per hour.

What the work looks like: night support can include personal care, repositioning, catheter care within your competency, emotional support, domestic checks and accurate record‑keeping. You will be expected to follow agreed care plans and communicate clearly with families and the PrimeCarers team. You will not be asked to undertake tasks outside your training or competence.

This setup is ideal for carers who are ready to move away from agency rotas and want evenings or nights that fit family life, study or other daytime commitments. Many carers value the continuity of working regularly with the same client in their own home, and the ability to choose waking or sleeping nights to suit their energy and lifestyle.

To join you must have at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS (PrimeCarers can help arrange this) and verifiable references. We’ll ask to see your ID, training certificates and references during verification. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
