Weekend Carer Jobs in Fazeley

Weekend respite care in Fazeley gives family carers a reliable break — from a few hours to a few days. You’ll support people in their own homes across Fazeley and nearby areas, covering short-term daytime or overnight respite and weekend stays where needed. Right now, 23 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This work suits experienced, compassionate carers who want the freedom of self-employed work: you set your own rates, choose your clients, the hours you’ll do and the service area you work in. PrimeCarers finds families looking for short-term and weekend cover, manages contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. Many carers who switch from agency work tell us they value the control and clearer paperwork that comes with self-employment.

Typical pay reflects the skill and responsibility involved — many carers on the platform use rates in the range £18.50–£20 per hour. You remain self-employed and can accept only the bookings that suit you.

Most of the families you’ll be introduced to need practical help with personal care, medication reminders, meal support and companionship while the usual carer has a break. Shifts vary: a few hours on a Saturday evening, an overnight sleep-in at the weekend or a short series of days while a family member is away. You won’t be applying for one advertised post — these are ongoing self‑employed opportunities across Fazeley and the surrounding Staffordshire patch, including Tamworth, Perry Crofts, Roughley, Whitehouse Common, Falcon Lodge and Reddicap Heath.

• Who can apply: at least 1 year of professional care experience.
• Right to work: you must have the legal right to work in the UK.
• Background checks: an Enhanced DBS check is required — PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you need it.
• References: you’ll need verifiable professional references.

Joining takes minutes: create your profile, upload ID and references, and we’ll verify the details. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can start seeing local short-term bookings quickly. PrimeCarers also handles bookings, agreements and payments so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.
