Night Care Assistant
Overnight care in Beckton lets you provide waking or sleeping nights supporting someone in their own home so families can rest. These are ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than one specific post — you choose which clients and which nights fit your life. Right now, 144 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Night work here in Beckton typically involves checking on the person through the night, administering medication if needed, supporting mobility and pressure-relief routines, or simply being present and responsive until the morning. Some shifts are active waking nights; others are sleeping nights with regular checks. You’ll be working in clients’ homes across Beckton and the surrounding area of Newham, with the option to limit how far you travel.
This kind of role suits experienced carers who value independence and predictable night work. If you’re used to agency nights but want control over the hours you do and the people you support, PrimeCarers lets you set your own rate and accept only the clients you want. Typical rates for this kind of support are £17–£19.89 per hour. You remain self-employed: you choose clients, hours and your service area.
PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoices and payments, and provides insurance while you are working. To join we ask for at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one if you need it), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We don’t invent shift rotas — you pick the nights that suit you and the families you want to work with.
