Night Care Assistant Jobs in Southchurch

Work overnight in people's homes across Southchurch, helping families rest while you provide waking or sleeping night support. Many roles involve supporting someone with personal care, medication prompts, or reassurance through the night, with the freedom to agree the exact duties with each family. You’ll be self-employed, choose your clients, hours and service area, and set your own rates — typical pay sits around £17–£19.70 per hour.

Right now, 14 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These ongoing self-employed opportunities suit experienced carers who value control over where and when they work. You might prefer waking nights, sleeping nights with occasional checks, or a mix of both. Nights can be quieter than daytime work, but your presence matters: you enable families in Southchurch and nearby communities to rest safely. We also cover roles across parts of Essex including Thorpe Bay, North Shoebury, Southend, Southend on Sea, Prettlewell and Shoeburyness.

PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments for you, and provides insurance while you’re working on assignments. You remain fully self-employed: you set your hourly rate, choose which clients to accept and decide how far you’ll travel. Typical hourly care rates are in the range £18.80–£20 per hour, and live-in day rates commonly fall around £145–£160 per day.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), and verifiable references. We verify profiles quickly so that applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification. You won’t be applying for a single shift here — this page advertises ongoing opportunities across Southchurch and surrounding areas rather than one specific post.

If you’re coming from agency work, PrimeCarers gives you more control without the admin. You choose which families to accept, and we take care of the paperwork, invoicing and payments. Insurance is included while you work on PrimeCarers assignments, and you remain free to accept other private work alongside clients you find through the platform.
