Description
Night care in Malpas means supporting people at home through waking or sleeping nights so families can rest. These are ongoing self-employed opportunities for experienced care workers who prefer working nights and want more control over their work.
Right now, 3 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Night shifts vary: you may be awake through the night supporting the client with routines, observation, assistance with personal care as needed, reassurance and record-keeping, or provide sleeping-night cover where you remain available in the home. All assignments are in a client's own home; you choose the jobs you accept. This page advertises ongoing opportunities across Malpas and nearby areas, not a single post.
This way of working suits carers who have been in care for at least a year and want to move away from rigid agency schedules. You will be self-employed, setting your own rates and choosing clients, hours and your service area — many carers use nights to fit around daytime commitments. 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. PrimeCarers supports self-employed carers with contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work.
Pay is set by you so it reflects the hours and responsibility you accept; typical rates for night care locally are £17–£20 per hour. You can list an hourly care figure or a live-in day rate on your profile using £19–£22.50 per hour or £145–£160 per day if you prefer. How much you earn depends on the clients and hours you choose.
PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts and secure invoicing and payments, so you can focus on care. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. If you already work nights in Malpas or the surrounding towns such as Whitchurch, Farndon, Overton on Dee, Rhosnesni, Wrexham and Ellesmere, this is a straightforward way to find ongoing self-employed night roles across Cheshire and nearby communities.
If you want more regular nights, specific types of support, or to be contacted only for certain areas, set that on your profile and only accept what fits. Ready to start? Create your profile — it really does take minutes, and PrimeCarers will guide you through verification and getting live.

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
Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed, so Income Tax and National Insurance come out of the take-home figure above. Nothing is deducted for you and this page does not work out what you owe. Tax and money as a self-employed carer walks through registering with HMRC and what to put aside.
