Description

If you’re an experienced carer who prefers nights, St Pancras has ongoing self-employed opportunities supporting people in their own homes. You can work waking nights or sleeping nights, giving families the overnight support they need so loved ones can stay at home. Right now, 166 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Night work on PrimeCarers suits carers who want more control than agency rotas allow. You pick the clients you want, the hours that fit your life and the area you cover around St Pancras and nearby neighbourhoods such as Bloomsbury, Somerstown, Kings Cross, Fitzrovia, Pentonville and Clerkenwell. Many carers prefer overnight roles for continuity of care and quieter routines; others value the chance to build longer relationships with households in Camden and neighbouring streets.

Pay is set by you. Typical assignments for night care fall within £17–£20 per hour, with overnight waking shifts usually reflected in the £19–£21.50 per hour and live-in day rates shown as £148–£165 per day. PrimeCarers does not promise any fixed income, but gives you the tools to advertise your hourly or live-in rates and invoice clients directly through the platform.

PrimeCarers takes care of the admin so you can focus on care. We introduce you to families, handle contracts, process invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re working. Because you’re self-employed, you keep control of how many nights you take and which households you accept.

To join you’ll 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. If you already have documentation ready, applying takes minutes; once verified, profiles typically go live within days. We recommend having up-to-date references and training certificates to speed verification.

Overnight care tasks vary by client but commonly include: supporting personal care, medication prompting, repositioning and comfort checks, monitoring wellbeing, and clear record-keeping for families. You won’t be expected to perform clinical tasks outside your competence; always discuss duties with a family before accepting a placement.
