Overnight care here ranges from companionship and monitoring to personal care during the night — tasks you already know well from residential and domiciliary work. You might be supporting someone with dementia who needs gentle reassurance, helping with medication checks, assisting with toileting or providing pressure-relief turns. Shifts are arranged between you and the family, so you choose waking nights or sleeping nights to suit your life and energy levels.

PrimeCarers is built for experienced carers who want flexibility and fair pay. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates, with typical pay around £17–£18 per hour depending on the client and the level of care. We find clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. You decide your service area, hours and which families you accept — many carers in West Gorton also cover nearby areas such as Belle Vue, Bradford-with-Beswick, Ardwick, Longsight, Ardwick Green and Chorlton-on-Medlock.

Who this suits:

• Experienced carers: at least 1 year of professional care experience is required.
• Reliable night workers: comfortable with waking or sleeping nights and overnight monitoring.
• Self-employed professionals: who want control over clients, hours and rates.

Requirements to join are straightforward: at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this) and verifiable references. We’ll guide you through verification, and most profiles go live within days once everything is checked.

How pay and admin works: you set your own hourly charge within the market, agree terms with the family, and PrimeCarers handles the paperwork — contracts, invoicing and secure payments — so you can focus on care. Insurance is included while you’re working on a PrimeCarers placement. Applying takes minutes and many carers have profiles live within days of verification.
