Night Care Assistant Jobs in Tottenham

Night care assistants support people in their own homes during waking or sleeping nights so families can rest. In Tottenham you'll be helping clients with medication prompts, repositioning, personal care, companionship and light household checks through the night — all while working as a self‑employed carer who sets their own hours and chooses who they work with.
Right now, 155 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

If you live in Tottenham or nearby you can take shifts across the area and Haringey, including Tottenham Hale, Tottenham Green, Edmonton, South Tottenham, Turnpike Lane and Wood Green. Many carers prefer nights because they can combine them with daytime commitments and earn competitive rates. Typical pay for overnight care is £17–£20 per hour.

What the work involves: nights can be quiet or active. A waking night means being alert and supporting a person with ongoing needs; a sleeping night usually involves doing observations and being available if an intervention is needed. Tasks are practical and relational — helping someone stay safe, comfortable and connected while their family sleeps. Shifts vary in length and frequency, and you choose what suits you.

Who this suits: experienced care workers used to working independently, confident with night-time observations and straightforward clinical tasks, and who want more control than traditional agency shifts offer. If you’re used to working nights, have at least one year’s professional care experience and want to set your own rates, this could fit well. Many carers moving from agencies find they value the freedom to accept only the clients and patterns they prefer.

How to apply: the online form takes minutes. Once you upload documents and references, verification usually completes quickly and profiles typically go live within days. You’ll then see client matches and can accept the nights that suit you. There’s no obligation to take a shift you don’t want — you remain in control.
