Description
Overnight care in Collyhurst means supporting people in their own homes through waking or sleeping nights so families can rest. You’ll be helping with reassurance, medication prompts, repositioning, personal care where needed and observing changes so daytime carers and families are informed. Shifts are in private homes across Collyhurst and the surrounding area, including Miles Platting, Ancoats, New Islington, Green Quarter, Northern Quarter and Cheetham; many carers also cover parts of Manchester. Right now, 30 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
This work suits experienced, reliable carers who want control over their hours and clients. On PrimeCarers you’re self‑employed: you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that work for you. Typical rates for overnight care are £17–£18 per hour, and you can select shorter or longer nights depending on what you prefer.
What you’ll commonly do on nights:
- Waking nights — active support, medication prompts, low‑level personal care and monitoring.
- Sleeping nights — staying in the home, ready to respond and recording observations while the client rests.
- Notes and handover — clear records for families and daytime teams the next morning.
To join PrimeCarers 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 an Enhanced DBS if you don’t yet have one. You remain self‑employed and free to accept or decline shifts in Collyhurst, Miles Platting, Ancoats and nearby neighbourhoods.
PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work. You won’t be tied into rotas — you pick the nights that suit you and your life. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
