Description

Looking for overnight care work in Castlefield that lets you keep control? PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers directly with families who need waking or sleeping nights in their own homes. You choose the clients, the hours and the area you cover; PrimeCarers handles matching, contracts, invoicing, payments and provides insurance while you work. Many carers value the privacy and continuity of night support — families can rest knowing a known carer is there.

Right now, 24 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Overnight roles vary: some nights are waking, where you’ll provide active support, observations and personal care through the night; others are sleeping nights where you remain on-site and ready to respond if needed. Both types suit experienced carers who work confidently on their own, enjoy building relationships and want to offer a calm, steady presence in someone’s home. You’ll often be asked to support with medication prompts, repositioning, personal care and companionship, but PrimeCarers never advertises a single fixed shift here — you pick what fits you.

As a self-employed care assistant on PrimeCarers you set your own rate. Typical ranges are £17–£18 per hour. For clarity, typical hourly-care ranges are £18.50–£20 per hour and live-in day ranges are £145–£160 per day. Families in Castlefield and surrounding areas value carers who bring both experience and discretion. You’ll find opportunities across Castlefield and nearby areas such as Spinningfields, Glenbrook, Hulme, Manchester city centre, Northern Quarter and Moss Side, with some roles close to Manchester city centre too.

Requirements to join are straightforward: you need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. If you’ve worked through agencies and are ready for more control over your work-life balance, this is set up for you — pick the clients that match your skills and availability.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, add your experience and references, and PrimeCarers verifies your details — most profiles go live within days of verification. While you’re on the platform PrimeCarers takes care of contracts, invoicing and payments so you can focus on the care. Insurance is included while you’re working on a placement through PrimeCarers.
