Weekend Carer Jobs in Moss Side

If you provide short-term respite or weekend cover and want to work on your own terms, Moss Side families need reliable carers for a few hours up to several days. These roles are ideal if you want to offer respite so family carers can rest, run errands or have planned time away.

Right now, 27 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This is an ongoing opportunity to join PrimeCarers as a self-employed carer offering respite care across Moss Side and the surrounding area. You set your own standards and your own rates. Many carers move from agency work to find better control over shifts and relationships with families. Typical assignments include personal care, companionship, medication prompting, light household help and being a calm, experienced presence while a family takes a break.

Pay is set by you; many carers list rates within £18.50–£20 per hour for hourly care or £145–£160 per day for live-in days, and you can advertise whichever you prefer. PrimeCarers supports the match-making side: we find clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. You choose the clients, the hours and the service area that suit you—whether you want occasional weekend cover in Moss Side or regular respite bookings across nearby areas like Hulme, Whalley Range, Castlefield, Chorlton-on-Medlock, Chorlton and Chorlton-cum-Hardy.

Who this suits

• Experienced carers with at least a year of professional care experience who want more control over their work.
• People who can provide compassionate short-term or weekend respite for families.
• Carers who prefer self-employed flexibility and direct relationships with families rather than rota-driven agency shifts.

Requirements to join

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

Applying takes just minutes. We’ll verify your references and checks, and profiles typically go live within days of verification. PrimeCarers does not assign you to a single placement here; instead we connect you with families across Moss Side and neighbouring neighbourhoods so you can accept the bookings that fit your schedule. If you’re used to agency life but want more say over who you support and when, this is a practical next step in Manchester.
