Description

PrimeCarers is looking for experienced self-employed carers to offer short-term and weekend respite cover for families around Fintona and neighbouring areas, including Omagh. You’ll provide relief to family carers for anything from a few hours’ support to overnight or multi-day short stays — companionship, personal care, medication prompting and household help during temporary cover. Work suits those who want predictable, local respite work without agency rotas.

New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

As a PrimeCarers carer you set your own terms. You’re self-employed, choose your clients, pick the hours you want and define the service area that works for you. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you’re working. Typical rates fall in £15–£25 per hour, and you can list the precise hourly or live‑in rates you expect.

This role is ideal if you have at least a year of professional care experience and enjoy short-term, person-centred work. Many carers who move from agency work tell us they value the freedom to accept only the respite jobs that suit their skills, timetable and travel preferences — whether that’s evening weekends in Fintona or regular day cover for a family in the wider Omagh area.

Key requirements to join

  • At least 1 year of professional care experience
  • An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one)
  • The right to work in the UK
  • Verifiable references

PrimeCarers supports you with the paperwork so you can focus on care. We manage client matching, contracts and payments, and provide insurance cover for the period you’re working. You remain in control of which families you accept and how often you work in Fintona, and in nearby towns such as Fivemiletown, Clogher, Enniskillen, Lisnaskea, Castlederg and Coalisland if you choose to travel further.

Applying takes minutes — you build a profile, submit your documents and we verify them. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and then you can start selecting the respite shifts that suit you. If you’re used to agency life but want more control over rates and hours, this could be the right next step.
