Shifts are in private homes across Manchester city centre and nearby neighbourhoods including Northern Quarter, Glenbrook, Ancoats, New Islington, Ardwick Green and Spinningfields. Tasks vary by client but commonly include personal care, medication prompts, repositioning, observations, reassurance and clear handovers to families in the morning.

Who this suits: experienced carers with patience, good observation and the ability to work independently. This role suits people who want to take control of their hours and clients and who have at least one year of professional care experience. Many carers who use PrimeCarers choose nights because they prefer concentrated time with one client and the flexibility that comes with self‑employment.

Pay and flexibility: carers on PrimeCarers are self‑employed, set their own rates and choose the clients and hours they accept. Typical ranges for this kind of role are £17–£18 per hour and you can set rates that reflect your skills and experience. PrimeCarers handles finding clients, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work.

Requirements to join are straightforward: a minimum of one year’s professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You’ll need to be comfortable working alone overnight and able to provide caring, calm support in a private home in Manchester city centre.

Once live, families can contact you directly and you remain in control of which clients and shifts you accept. There’s no obligation to take work you don’t want.
