Description
Night-time support in a client's own home is often the quiet, vital work that helps families sleep. In Rochdale you can offer waking or sleeping nights that keep people safe and comfortable while relatives get the rest they need.
Right now, 21 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
This page is for experienced carers looking for ongoing self-employed night work across Rochdale and nearby areas. The role typically involves providing compassionate, practical support through the night: checking safety, administering medication if required within your skills and agreement, assisting with toileting and repositioning, and being a calm presence when a person needs it. Some nights are awake and active; others are sleep-in shifts where monitoring and prompt response are key.
PrimeCarers connects you directly with families — you choose clients, hours and your service area, and you set your own rates. Typical pay sits around £17–£18 per hour, and because you're self-employed you control how many nights you take. PrimeCarers handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and offers insurance while you work so you can focus on care, not paperwork.
Who this suits: experienced care staff who want to move away from rigid agency rotas and work more independently in Rochdale. You’ll ideally already have at least a year of professional care experience, verifiable references, the right to work in the UK and an Enhanced DBS. If you need help with the DBS, PrimeCarers can assist with arranging one.
