Overnight Carer Jobs in Gorton

Overnight care in Gorton is about keeping a family sleeping safely while you stay awake or rest nearby. On PrimeCarers you’ll work directly with private clients in their own homes — supporting people through waking nights (personal care, medication prompts, moving and monitoring) or sleeping nights (being on-call and checking in while the client rests). You decide whether you want regular nights, occasional bookings or longer live-in support in the area.

Right now, 22 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These roles suit experienced carers who value quiet responsibility and predictability. Waking nights are active and hands-on; sleeping nights need a calm presence and quick response when required. Either way, families rely on overnight carers so loved ones can stay at home and relatives can rest. Work is available across Gorton and nearby areas including Abbey Hey, Openshaw, Belle Vue, Levenshulme, Highfield Country Park and Longsight.

Pay and flexibility are in your hands. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed: you set your own rates and choose clients, hours and service area. Typical pay for overnight shifts is £17–£18 per hour. You’ll see both hourly and live-in options on profiles, using ranges such as £18.50–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day where relevant — but you decide what to charge.

PrimeCarers finds clients and takes care of the paperwork so you can focus on care. We handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. That support is designed to suit people leaving agency life who want fewer middlemen and more control over the nights they work in Gorton and across Manchester.

The basic requirements to join are straightforward:

• At least 1 year of professional care experience

• Verifiable references

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload documents and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. You’ll then be able to pick clients and nights that suit your life, whether that’s regular weekend nights, midweek waking nights or occasional sleeping nights.
