PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families, while letting you stay in control. You set your own rates and choose which clients, hours and service area suit you. Typical pay for these roles is £17–£18 per hour. You decide whether to accept waking nights, sleeping nights or a mix.
Night work can include: discreet support with personal care, checking breathing and comfort, assisting with repositioning, prompting medication, keeping records and being a reassuring presence until morning. You’ll work in people’s homes, maintain clear notes and liaise with families when required. This is ongoing self-employed work rather than one-off assignments.
This work suits experienced carers who prefer continuity and choice over traditional agency shifts. If you’ve done night duties before, are confident at spotting changes in a person’s condition, and value predictable nights with fewer different clients, overnight roles in Blackley could fit. Many carers moving away from agency setups find the flexibility and direct relationships with families refreshing.
Pay and practicalities: typical hourly care ranges are shown as £18.50–£20 per hour, with day rates for live-in or longer night patterns shown as £145–£160 per day. PrimeCarers handles finding clients, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you are working. You remain self-employed throughout and are responsible for your own tax and records.
To join you’ll 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 verify documentation quickly so your profile can go live within days.
