This page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities, not one specific role. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates and availability. You choose which clients to work with, the hours you accept and the area you cover around Birchwood and across Warrington. Many carers on the platform charge within £17–£17.80 per hour, but you decide the rate that fits your experience and the care you provide. You can also consider £18.50–£20 per hour for hourly nights or £145–£160 per day for live-in day rates if that suits your arrangements.

Overnight work suits experienced carers who are confident working with minimal night-time supervision, who can spot changes in a person’s wellbeing and respond calmly. Typical night tasks include periodic checks, supporting transfers, assisting with toileting, carrying out agreed care tasks, or staying awake to provide active support. Sleeping nights where you remain in the home but rest between checks are common as are waking nights when you need to be alert throughout. Nights can be predictable or vary week to week — you control what you accept.

PrimeCarers helps by finding clients and handling the paperwork: we manage contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance cover while you work. You remain self-employed, invoicing through the platform and keeping control of your diary. To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We’ll guide you through verification so your profile can go live quickly.
