Description
Night-time care in Hindley needs calm, experienced carers who can cover waking or sleeping nights so families can finally rest. You’ll support people in their own homes — from checking comfort and wellbeing through the night to responding to needs that arise — letting relatives sleep safer and with peace of mind. Right now, 30 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
These are ongoing self-employed opportunities across Hindley and nearby areas. Carers set their own rates and choose the hours that suit them; typical rates for this kind of work sit around £17–£18 per hour depending on care needs and your experience. You’ll decide which clients to accept and how far you’ll travel from Hindley to work in Manchester and surrounding towns.
PrimeCarers brings you the bookings, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance cover while you’re on duty. That means you can focus on care rather than admin. If you’ve worked nights before — in domiciliary care, residential or with complex-needs clients — this role suits someone who values continuity, dignity and steady night routines.
Requirements to join are straightforward and aimed at keeping people safe: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. If you already have an up-to-date DBS and references, your profile can go live quicker.
We cover Hindley and surrounding communities — including Ince in Makerfield, Wigan, Westhoughton, Lee Bank, Leigh and Atherton — so you can choose clients close to home or extend into neighbouring areas on your terms. Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload documents and references, then wait for verification. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and you remain free to accept or decline each job offered.
If you’re used to agency nights but want more control over who you work with and how much you charge, PrimeCarers is set up for experienced self-employed carers. You won’t be tied to rotas you didn’t choose; instead you build a schedule that fits your life while providing consistent, compassionate overnight support to families across Hindley and beyond.

A waking night runs past six hours, so it is charged at the shift commission rate. The commission is taken out of the rate you advertise rather than added on top of it, and the VAT on it comes out of our share.
Tax is yours to sort out
