Weekend Carer Jobs in New Islington

Weekend and short-term respite care in New Islington lets you offer families a break for a few hours, an evening or a couple of days. You’ll support people in their own homes with companionship, personal care, medication prompts and practical help tailored to each family’s needs. Work is often over weekends and short stays — ideal if you want predictable, flexible respite shifts close to where you live in New Islington and nearby. Right now, 22 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These roles suit experienced, caring professionals who want more control than traditional agency routes. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you choose which clients you work with, the hours you accept and the service area you cover. Many carers who join us value being able to concentrate on care rather than on rota politics — especially for weekend and short-notice respite work in New Islington and across Manchester.

Pay & flexibility
You set your own rates and keep control of your income: typical rates for this kind of work are £18.50–£20 per hour. You can offer hourly shifts or short live-in stays depending on what you want to accept and what the family needs. PrimeCarers handles the client introduction, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work.

Who we're looking for

• At least 1 year of professional care experience;
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one);
• The right to work in the UK and verifiable references;
• Reliability, good communication and a calm approach for short-term, respite situations.

We work with families across New Islington and nearby areas including Ancoats, Northern Quarter, Manchester city centre, Collyhurst, Miles Platting and Ardwick Green. You remain self-employed: you agree terms directly with families you choose. PrimeCarers supports you with the paperwork, client-finding and insurance so you can focus on care.

How to apply
Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload or request your DBS, and add your references. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and then you can start choosing weekend and short-stay respite work that suits your life in New Islington and the wider Manchester area.

If you’re ready to keep your independence, set your own rates and offer much-needed respite to families in New Islington, join PrimeCarers and start choosing the shifts that fit you.
