Weekend Carer Jobs in Eccleshall

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families in Eccleshall who need short-term respite and weekend cover — from a few hours to a few days. You’ll be helping family carers to recharge by providing companionship, personal care, medication prompts, meal support and safe outings when needed. Right now, 13 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This type of work suits you if you want flexibility around weekends and short blocks of cover rather than long-term rota commitments. Many carers who move to PrimeCarers do so to avoid agency shift patterns and to choose the clients and hours that fit their life in Eccleshall and across Staffordshire.

How it works for you:

• Self-employed freedom: set your own rates and decide which jobs you accept.
• Choose your area: accept work in Eccleshall and nearby towns including Stone, Stafford, Market Drayton, Fenton, Stoke on Trent and Longton.
• Admin handled: PrimeCarers finds clients, manages contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work.

Pay and types of work vary; typical rates are £18.50–£20 per hour depending on the support required and the client’s needs. You can offer occasional day or evening cover, weekend stays, or short live-in arrangements. Use £18.50–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day as guidance when setting your profile rates.

Requirements to join are straightforward: at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is required; PrimeCarers can help you arrange one if you don’t already have it.

We’re looking for carers who are reliable, respectful and confident supporting people with a range of needs. You do not need to commit to a rota — you pick the jobs that suit you and families in Eccleshall contact you through the platform.

Applying takes minutes. Build your profile, upload ID and references, and once verified your profile usually goes live within days. The platform keeps things simple so you can focus on the care: choose clients, agree times, and be paid through PrimeCarers with insurance provided while you work.
