Night Care Assistant Jobs in Swanscombe and Greenhithe

Overnight care in Swanscombe and Greenhithe means supporting someone at home through the night — waking or sleeping nights providing reassurance, personal care, medication prompts and companionship so families can rest. You’ll be working in people’s own homes, helping to keep independence and comfort for the person you support. Right now, 87 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These ongoing, self‑employed roles suit experienced carers who want more control than agency shifts usually allow. On PrimeCarers you set your own hours, service area and rates, and many carers advertise at £17–£18.50 per hour to reflect overnight work and their experience. You choose which clients to accept and can focus on night work only if that suits you.

Typical night responsibilities include:

• Waking nights — regular checks, moving and repositioning, helping with toileting or medicines as needed.
• Sleeping nights — being on-site and available, responding to alarms or needs, keeping accurate records.
• Emotional support — offering reassurance and companionship so families have peace of mind.

PrimeCarers finds clients for self‑employed carers and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. That means less admin for you and clear, prompt payments for the nights you do. You remain in charge of your working pattern: choose local roles around Swanscombe and Greenhithe or widen your area to include Northfleet, Grays, Tilbury, West Thurrock, Chafford Hundred and Gravesend in Kent.

To join you need at least one year’s professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify profiles so families can book with confidence. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can be visible to local families quickly.

If you’re used to agency life but want to set your own rates, protect your income with clearer paperwork and pick the nights that suit you, PrimeCarers makes the switch straightforward. Create a profile, upload references and DBS details (or request help), and start seeing suitable night care opportunities across Swanscombe and Greenhithe and the surrounding parts of Kent.
