Night Care Assistant Jobs in Kirkby

Work overnight in Kirkby supporting adults in their own homes — waking or sleeping nights where your presence helps families to rest. Night care on PrimeCarers is about companionship, personal care and safe monitoring through the hours when relatives need to sleep, all within the Kirkby community in Merseyside.
Right now, 10 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This is for experienced carers who want to move away from agency routines and run their own night service. On PrimeCarers you are self-employed: you set your own rates, choose clients, shifts and your service area, and can cover nights that suit you around other commitments. Many carers on the platform work across Kirkby and nearby towns such as Maghull, Rainford, Prescot, Bootle, Huyton and Whiston while keeping control of when and how they work.

Typical overnight duties vary with each client but often include supporting with personal care, repositioning, pressure-area checks, medication prompting, discomfort monitoring and quiet companionship. Waking nights mean active support through the shift; sleeping nights mean you sleep at the property but remain available to respond if needed. You must be comfortable working alone, recognising changes in a client’s condition and keeping clear records, while offering calm, respectful care that helps families rest.

Pay and flexibility are in your hands. Many carers on the platform charge within £17–£18.20 per hour for night work, and you decide the exact rate you offer. PrimeCarers matches you with families, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work, so you can focus on care rather than paperwork. Applying takes minutes and, after verification, profiles typically go live within days.

To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS is also required; PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you need it. This page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities in Kirkby — it is not a single role — and we welcome carers who want reliable overnight work alongside the freedom to run their own services.

How to apply: Create your profile online — it only takes a few minutes. Complete the checks, upload references and, once verified, you can begin choosing night bookings that suit you. Join other Kirkby carers who prefer the independence of self-employed night work with the backing of PrimeCarers.
