Description
Overnight care in St John's means supporting someone at night in their own home so families can rest. You might work waking nights, providing hands-on support and observations, or sleeping nights where your presence reassures both client and family. These are ongoing self-employed opportunities across St John's and nearby neighbourhoods, with flexible hours to suit experienced carers.
Right now, 145 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
On PrimeCarers you remain self-employed: you set your own rate and choose the clients, hours and service area that work for you. Typical pay sits around £17–£20 per hour and many carers use PrimeCarers to offer both short overnight shifts and longer live-in or day packages. You can expect to see roles advertised across St John's, and around Camden borough too, including areas near St Johns Wood, Swiss Cottage, Maida Vale, Lisson Grove, Little Venice and Belsize Park.
This work suits experienced carers who want to leave agency routines behind and take control of their nights. You’ll support adults with personal care, medication prompts, mobility assistance, observation and companionship through the night. Some nights require regular checks and record-keeping; others need light care with periods of sleep-in responsibility. You decide which kinds of night work to accept.
PrimeCarers finds clients and handles the administrative side: contracts, invoicing and payments are taken care of, and insurance is included while you work. That means less time on paperwork and more time on the care you prefer to give.
Requirements to join
- At least 1 year of professional care experience.
- An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you need it).
- The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
