Night Care Assistant Jobs in Woolwich

If you’re an experienced carer who prefers nights, PrimeCarers connects you directly with families in Woolwich seeking overnight support so relatives can rest. Overnight roles include waking nights — attending to medication, personal care or checks — and sleeping nights where you remain on-site and available. Right now, 202 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Work as a self-employed night care assistant and take control: choose your clients, hours and service area. Many carers who move away from agency patterns use PrimeCarers to focus on overnight shifts that suit their life. Typical pay sits around £17–£19 per hour; specific bookings often list hourly and live-in day ranges such as £18.80–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day.

PrimeCarers finds families, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance cover while you’re working. That means you can concentrate on care rather than paperwork. You’ll still run your work your way — set your own rates and accept only the nights you want.

This type of overnight work suits experienced carers who are confident working independently in someone’s home, who can carry out night-time observations, support continence needs, assist with repositioning and follow care plans. It also works well for carers who prefer longer blocks of hours and predictable night patterns rather than daytime shifts.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We’re looking for people who are reliable, respectful of clients’ homes and able to communicate clearly with families and our team.

Many carers come from nearby areas to cover Woolwich and surrounding communities including North Woolwich, Plumstead, Shooters Hill, Silvertown, Charlton and Beckton. You’ll manage your diary, accept work that suits you and decide how far you travel.

Applying takes minutes: create your profile, upload ID and references and our team will verify the details. Profiles typically go live within days of verification so you can start seeing night care opportunities quickly. If you want local night work in Woolwich or nearby Greenwich and prefer the freedom of self-employed care, PrimeCarers is designed to make the move straightforward and secure.
