Night Care Assistant Jobs in St Giles

Work nights in St Giles as a self-employed night care assistant, providing waking or sleeping-night support in people’s own homes so families can rest. You’ll be helping with reassurance, regular checks, prompting medication, moving and repositioning where needed and general support through the night. Many shifts are local to central London, with clients close to areas such as Lee, Covent Garden, Chinatown, Charing Cross, Soho and Aldwych and across Camden. Right now, 168 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This type of work suits experienced carers who want more control than agency life usually allows. You choose the clients you take on, the hours you do and your service area. You also set your own rates and availability, typically around £17–£20 per hour depending on the role and responsibilities. Shifts vary from occasional nights to regular ongoing patterns; these are advertised as ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than single assignments.

PrimeCarers does the admin so you can focus on care. We introduce you to families, manage contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance cover while you’re working. You remain self-employed at all times, keeping the freedom to accept or decline bookings that don’t suit you.

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’ll guide you through verification and answer questions about the paperwork. If you already work nights in St Giles or nearby, your experience will make you a strong match for local families.

Pay and shift type vary by client and level of support. Typical hourly-care ranges are shown as £19–£21.50 per hour and typical live-in day rates as £148–£165 per day, with many carers setting their own competitive rates within £17–£20 per hour. There’s no fixed pattern imposed by PrimeCarers — you set the terms and choose the work that fits your life.

Applying takes minutes and most profiles go live within days of verification. After your profile is active you’ll start seeing matching opportunities and can message families directly. If you’re used to agency nights but want clearer pay control, fewer middlemen and insurance while you work, this could be the step that gives you back flexibility without losing support.
