Description

Are you an experienced carer looking to move away from agency rotas and picky shift patterns? PrimeCarers connects self-employed overnight carers with families across St Pauls Cray and the surrounding area so you can offer waking or sleeping nights supporting clients in their own homes. You pick the clients, hours and service area, and set your own rates. Right now, 175 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Overnight work can suit carers who prefer consistent night patterns, want to build long-term relationships with families, or need the flexibility to fit care around other commitments. Nights typically involve supporting a client with mobility, personal care, medication prompts and companionship, plus monitoring and providing reassurance through the night. This role is about reliable, calm presence rather than hospital-style nursing.

Pay and flexibility: as a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rate within local norms, so you might see opportunities around £17–£19 per hour. You choose each client and the hours you accept. PrimeCarers handles finding clients, contracts, invoicing and payments — and provides insurance while you work.

Who we’re looking for in St Pauls Cray and Bromley: carers with at least one year of professional care experience who want autonomy and more control over their working life. You must have the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you need it).

Essential requirements:

  • At least 1 year of professional care experience
  • Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this)
