Description
If you already provide overnight care and want control over your work, PrimeCarers connects self‑employed night carers with families across Strangeways and nearby neighbourhoods of Manchester. Nights can be waking or sleeping shifts supporting a client in their own home so families can rest — you decide which kind of night work you offer. Set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area.
Right now, 25 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.What night care looks like on PrimeCarers: you may support people with medication prompts, personal care, mobility assistance, or overnight monitoring and companionship. Some nights need regular observations and record‑keeping; others are lighter sleeping nights where you remain on call. Roles are in private homes across Strangeways and the surrounding communities, including Green Quarter, Cheetham, Northern Quarter, Glenbrook, Ancoats and Spinningfields.
This platform is built for experienced carers thinking of moving away from agency control. You’ll be self‑employed: you set your own schedule, accept the clients you want and choose the nights you work. Typical rates on the platform are £17–£18 per hour, but you set the figure that reflects your experience and the complexity of the care you provide.
PrimeCarers handles the business side so you can focus on care. We introduce you to families, manage contracts, invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you work on a booking. If you need help getting an Enhanced DBS check, we can assist with arrangements.
Who this suits: carers with at least one year of professional care experience who are comfortable working nights in people’s homes. You must have the right to work in the UK and be able to provide verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is required — PrimeCarers can help if you don’t yet have one.
How flexible it is: you choose the hours and neighbourhoods you cover — whether you prefer Strangeways‑central nights or shifts nearer Ancoats, Green Quarter or Spinningfields. Apply in minutes and, after verification, profiles typically go live within days.
To apply, create a profile, upload your documents and tell us about the overnight care you provide. Families contact you when your experience matches what they need; you decide which enquiries to accept. Working with PrimeCarers lets you keep control of your work while removing the admin burden of finding and billing families in Manchester and the Strangeways area.
