Description
Work nights that matter in Southport. As a night care assistant you’ll provide waking or sleeping-night support in a client’s own home so families can rest, stay safe and sleep easier. Shifts vary: some nights need hands-on care and companionship, others are more about monitoring and reassurance. You’ll be working in and around Southport and the wider Merseyside area. Right now, 5 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
This is a self-employed opportunity for carers who want more control than traditional agency work. You choose which clients to accept, the hours you work and the area you’ll cover. PrimeCarers finds clients for you, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re on a booked shift. Many carers who join from agencies enjoy the clearer terms and quieter nights that come with direct, long-term client matches in Southport.
Pay and flexibility are in your hands. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and can expect typical ranges of £17–£18.50 per hour depending on the client’s needs and the hours agreed. You can accept single nights, regular weekly rounds or block bookings — whatever fits your life. If you prefer to combine nights with daytime work elsewhere, that’s possible too.
Who this suits: experienced, confident carers comfortable supporting adults overnight in their own home. You’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS is required; PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you don’t already have it. We’re looking for people who value dignity, patience and good observation skills.
Applications take minutes. Create a profile, upload your documents and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. You’ll see available nights in Southport and nearby towns such as Formby, Ormskirk, Lytham St Annes, Maghull, Newburgh and Crosby and can accept the clients that suit you.
Working nights can be quieter and more rewarding than day shifts. You’ll often build close, trusting relationships with clients and their families, and you’ll be paid directly for the time you work. PrimeCarers handles the paperwork so you can focus on care. If you’re ready to leave rigid rotas and reclaim your evenings, this is a practical way to do it while staying in Southport.
