Night Care Assistant Jobs in Ashton in Makerfield

Overnight care in Ashton in Makerfield means supporting someone through waking or sleeping nights in their own home so families can rest. You’ll be providing compassionate, practical support — personal care, medication prompts, repositioning, companionship and attention to safety during the night. Right now, 13 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This work suits experienced carers who want more control than agency life offers. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose the hours, clients and service area you accept; typical rates here are £17–£18.50 per hour. You can cover Ashton in Makerfield and surrounding areas including Golbourne, Earlestown, Newton le Willows, Ince in Makerfield, Wigan and Hindley, with occasional roles across Greater Manchester if you wish.

PrimeCarers finds families for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. That means you focus on care while we take care of the admin and billing. You’ll see client requests, decide which to accept and arrange nights that match your availability and preferences.

What the role involves: waking nights to assist with transfers, medication or personal care; sleeping nights where you remain on-site, available to respond; and regular, gently engaging presence when needed. Each client’s needs are different — you choose the level of support you take on, whether short-term cover or ongoing nights.

Who we’re looking for: people with at least one year of professional care experience who want to work nights as self-employed carers. You must have the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), and verifiable references. We do not advertise a single shift — this page promotes ongoing self-employed opportunities across Ashton in Makerfield and nearby towns.

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload your documents and references, and our team will verify them. Profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once live you'll be able to review local night care requests and contact families directly through the platform.

If you’re used to agency nights and want more control over rates, clients and patterns of work, PrimeCarers lets you do that while removing much of the paperwork.
