Description

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers in Ellesmere Port with families who need overnight support — waking or sleeping nights in a client's own home so relatives can rest. You’ll work directly for families, pick the nights you want and continue to be your own boss. Right now, 5 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Overnight work varies from supporting people with dementia and long‑term conditions through the night to being present as a calm, reliable point of contact for falls prevention, medication prompts or comfort. Some shifts are waking nights, some are sleeping nights with checked periods; responsibilities are agreed with each family so you know what to expect before you take a shift. This role suits experienced carers who prefer the independence of self‑employment and who want predictable, meaningful night work in Ellesmere Port and nearby areas such as Bromborough, Chester, Bebington, Halewood, Neston and Frodsham.

As a PrimeCarers self‑employed carer you set your own rate and choose your own clients, hours and service area. Typical pay for night care through the platform falls in the range £17–£18.50 per hour and you can advertise an hourly or live‑in rate if appropriate. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments; insurance is included while you work through the platform.

To join you must have at least one year’s professional care experience, be able to show verifiable references, have the right to work in the UK and hold an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if needed). You’ll also need to be comfortable working independently at night and able to recordnotes and handovers digitally so families and referrers have clear information. We operate across Cheshire, offering regular overnight opportunities without agency rostering.

Applying takes minutes and your profile typically goes live within days of verification. When you join, you’ll be able to see available night jobs in Ellesmere Port and surrounding towns, accept only the nights that suit you, and manage bookings through the PrimeCarers dashboard. You remain in control of your working pattern and how many nights you take on.

If you’re an experienced carer ready to leave agency night rotas and want more control over when and who you care for, PrimeCarers could be the right next step. Create your profile, upload your documents and start being matched to families seeking compassionate overnight support in Ellesmere Port and across Cheshire.
