Description

Overnight care in Tulse Hill means supporting people in their own homes through waking or sleeping nights so families can rest. These ongoing, self-employed roles suit experienced carers who want the stability of regular night work without agency rules — you choose which clients, hours and the areas you cover, and PrimeCarers handles contracts, invoicing and payments with insurance included while you work.
Right now, 225 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Most night roles involve companionship, prompting medication, help with mobility, catheter or PEG checks (if you're trained), repositioning and basic personal care where needed. You may be asked to work waking nights (active support) or sleeping nights (on-call presence) depending on the family's needs. Every client is different; you decide which assignments fit your skills and availability in Tulse Hill and nearby areas such as Woodlands, Herne Hill, West Norwood, Brixton, Streatham and Westside.

Pay is set by you — many carers on the platform work within typical ranges. Typical rates for overnight care are £17–£19 per hour; for more detailed figures see the usual hourly and live-in guidance of £18.80–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day. PrimeCarers is an introductions platform: we connect you with families and take care of contracts and payments, but you remain self-employed and set your own rates.

This work is a good fit if you have at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange this) and verifiable references. We check identity, right to work and references before your profile goes live. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification.
