Description
Overnight care in Withington means supporting someone at home through the night — either as a waking carer or covering sleeping nights so a family can rest. You’ll work in people’s own homes around Withington and nearby streets, often with short, focused tasks overnight or longer periods of supervised rest. Manchester’s neighbourhoods rely on reliable night support, and this work suits carers who want predictability and to build ongoing relationships.
Right now, 28 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
This is an ongoing stream of self-employed opportunities rather than a single post. Many carers who move from agency work tell us they value the control here: you choose clients, hours and the exact area you cover. You set your own rates and can see local shifts that match your availability and skills. Typical pay for nights is shown as £17–£18 per hour; for clarity, typical hourly-care is £18.50–£20 per hour and live-in day work is £145–£160 per day.
PrimeCarers finds suitable clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments for the work you accept. Insurance is included while you work on a PrimeCarers booking, so you can focus on care. You remain self-employed, set your own terms and keep the freedom to accept or decline work that doesn’t suit you.
Who this suits:
- Experienced carers used to intimate night work who want steadier nights and clearer administration.
- Carers who prefer building one-to-one relationships rather than constant rota changes.
- Those based in Withington or nearby areas such as Old Moat, Didsbury West, Fallowfield, Ladybarn, Merseybank and Chorlton Park who want to keep travel manageable.
