Description

Night-time support in Highfield Country Park lets experienced carers provide waking or sleeping-night care in a client’s own home so families can rest. These are ongoing self-employed opportunities for people who want to move away from agency rota pressures and take control of their nights, rates and clients while staying local to Highfield Country Park and wider Manchester.

Right now, 10 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

What the role involves: you could be supporting someone through the night with personal care, observations, medication prompts, repositioning, or gentle companionship until morning. Shifts vary: some clients need a waking night, others a sleeping night with periodic checks. You will always agree hours and duties directly with the family you choose to work with.

Who this suits: experienced carers used to night work, calm in low-light situations, and comfortable making independent decisions. Many carers coming to PrimeCarers are tired of agency admin and want predictable, manageable nights where they keep the difference they earn. Highfield Country Park residents and carers from nearby areas such as Burnage, Levenshulme, Longsight, Gorton, Ladybarn and Belle Vue find local matches easier to fit around life and daytime commitments.

Pay and flexibility: carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates. Typical rates for night care roles sit around £17–£18 per hour. For guidance, the site shows typical ranges for different night types: £18.70–£20 per hour for hourly night care and £146–£160.50 per day for live-in day rates. You choose which clients, which nights and how wide your service area will be.

Requirements: to join you need at least 1 year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), and verifiable references. We don’t create rotas for you — you pick shifts that suit you and the family you agree to support.

What PrimeCarers handles: PrimeCarers finds families, manages contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. That means less admin for you and clearer records for every shift. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can be visible to local families in and around Highfield Country Park quickly.

If you’re an experienced night carer ready to work on your own terms in Highfield Country Park and Manchester, setting your rates and choosing your nights, PrimeCarers makes it straightforward to get started.
