Description
Overnight care in Broughton means supporting someone in their own home through waking or sleeping nights so families can rest. You’ll help with personal care, medication prompts, moving and repositioning, reassurance and monitoring — tasks vary by client and by night. Right now, 12 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
This is an ongoing opportunity for self-employed carers who want more control than agency rounds. You choose the clients, hours and service area; you set your own rates and book the nights that suit your life. Typical pay for overnight roles is £17–£19 per hour, with many shifts paid within the £18.80–£21.50 per hour or at a live-in day rate of £145–£160 per day depending on the arrangement. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work.
Overnight care suits experienced carers who already have practical night skills and the confidence to make safe, independent decisions. You might prefer waking nights where you stay alert and provide hands-on support, or sleeping nights with regular checks and calls. Either way, these roles require patience, observation, and a calm presence for families in Broughton and nearby towns such as Preston, Penwortham, Longridge, Kirkham, Garstang and Wesham.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check; PrimeCarers can help arrange a DBS if you need one. Because carers on the platform are self-employed you remain responsible for your own tax and National Insurance; PrimeCarers supports the paperwork around client contracts and takes care of invoicing and payments so you can focus on care.
Applying takes minutes: create a profile, add your experience and references, and upload or arrange an Enhanced DBS. Profiles typically go live within days of verification. This is not a single advertised role but an ongoing stream of self-employed night care opportunities across Broughton and across Lancashire for reliable, experienced carers who value flexibility and clearer pay.
