Overnight Carer Jobs in Wandsworth

Overnight care in Wandsworth means supporting someone in their own home through the night — either waking nights where you’re active and responsive, or sleeping nights where you’re on-site and available to step in. This work suits experienced carers who want predictable night hours, practical variety and the quiet satisfaction of helping families rest. Right now, 234 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

On PrimeCarers you work as a self-employed carer: you set your own rates and choose which clients, hours and service area work for you. Typical pay sits in the range £17–£19 per hour, with the wider options for hourly or live-in day work shown as £18.80–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day. You decide the nights you take and how far you’ll travel across Wandsworth and nearby areas such as Southfields, Putney, Earlsfield, Sands End, Castelnau and Parsons Green — clear control that many carers tell us they prefer to agency shifts.

PrimeCarers finds clients and takes care of the practical admin so you can focus on care. We handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. That means fewer late-night calls about paperwork and more time supporting the person in front of you. You remain self-employed throughout and can accept or decline any job that doesn’t suit you.

This kind of overnight role is right for you if you have at least a year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this if needed), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. Many carers joining us have moved from agency work because they wanted more control over rates and hours without having to manage every admin detail themselves.

Shifts vary night-to-night: some clients need active waking support with medication, mobility or prompts; others need sleeping nights with occasional checks. We won’t advertise one specific role here — PrimeCarers is advertising ongoing self-employed opportunities across Wandsworth and Greater London rather than a single post — so you’ll see a range of requests when you browse or are matched.

Applying takes minutes and your profile typically goes live within days of verification. Once live you can start to accept nights that suit your life, set your own terms and build ongoing relationships with families who value reliable, skilled overnight care.
