Description

If you work nights and want more control over the kind of care you do, PrimeCarers connects experienced self-employed carers with families across Liverpool and Merseyside. Night roles include waking nights and sleeping nights providing companionship, medication prompts, personal care and reassurance so relatives can rest. You’ll be working in people’s homes, supporting routines and safety through the night. Right now, 3 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These ongoing opportunities suit experienced carers who want to move away from agency rota pressure and pick the shifts and clients that fit their life. You set your own hours, choose waking or sleeping nights and set your own rates — typical £16.50–£18.89 per hour — while PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance during the work. You remain self-employed and in control of where and when you work.

Work around Liverpool city centre or in suburbs and nearby towns such as Birkenhead, Bootle, Wallasey, Bebington, Upton and Bromborough. Many families need reliable night support for people living with dementia, long-term conditions or short-term recovery. Nights often require a calm, observant approach: checking wellbeing, supporting toileting or medication, and keeping clients comfortable until morning. Sleep nights may involve being on-site and responding when required; waking nights need active presence and engagement.

Who this suits: carers with at least one year of professional care experience who want greater flexibility and better match between their skills and the people they support. You must have the right to work in the UK, verifiable references, and an Enhanced DBS check — PrimeCarers can help arrange a DBS if needed. You are responsible for your own tax and NI as a self-employed worker, while PrimeCarers manages client bookings and payments so you can focus on care.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload your documents and references, and PrimeCarers will verify you: most profiles go live within days of verification. Once live you can browse and accept night roles that suit you, message families directly and agree terms that fit your availability.

If you’re an experienced night carer in Liverpool keen to keep your independence but reduce admin and find better local matches, PrimeCarers is built for you. Build your own diary, decide your service area within Merseyside and start connecting with families who need dependable night support.
