Description

Provide waking or sleeping night support in a client's own home so families in Oswaldtwistle can rest easier. Night care work usually involves personal care, medication prompts, reassurance and checking wellbeing through the night. Some shifts are waking nights where you’re active throughout; others are sleeping nights where you remain onsite and available if needed. You’ll work directly for the family as a self-employed carer, choosing the type of night support you offer and the clients you accept.

Right now, 16 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This work suits experienced care professionals who want more control than agency life offers. If you prefer set nights, shorter runs of shifts, or occasional cover, you can build a night roster that fits your life. You set your own hours, service area and rates, and you can accept clients across Oswaldtwistle and nearby areas like Accrington, Clayton le Moors, Great Harwood, Blackburn, Darwen and Haslingden. PrimeCarers supports self-employed carers by finding clients, handling contracts, invoicing and payments, and providing insurance while you work.
