You choose your clients, hours and service area, set your own rates and keep control of your working life. Typical pay falls in the range £17–£19 per hour, and you decide what to accept.

This work suits carers who are confident working alone overnight in a client’s own home, who can assess needs, respond calmly to situations and keep clear records. Nights can involve help with personal care, medication prompts, repositioning, monitoring health and liaising with family members.

Many carers who move from agency rosters value the steadier nights and the autonomy of choosing shifts in Wanstead.

To join you’ll need at least 1 year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check.
