Weekend Carer Jobs in Poulton le Fylde

If you give respite and short-term care for families, weekend cover in Poulton le Fylde can be a steady, flexible way to work around life. We’re looking for self-employed carers who can provide a few hours of support, evening relief or a short break of a few days — all to give family carers the rest they need.

Right now, 8 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

On PrimeCarers you choose who you work with and when. Many local families want experienced weekend and short-stay cover across Poulton le Fylde and nearby areas, so you can pick shifts that fit your life. You set your own rates and decide your service area, hours and clients. Typical bookings fall in the range £19–£20 per hour for hourly care, and many carers combine weekend work with weekday bookings.

Respite roles include companionship, personal care, medication prompts, light household tasks and supporting people on short stays. Most bookings are in private homes and range from a couple of hours to several days of live-in or sleepover support. These opportunities suit experienced carers who prefer the control of self-employed work — especially those looking to move away from agency rota patterns in Lancashire.

PrimeCarers helps with the admin so you can focus on care: we introduce you to families, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. You remain self-employed at all times and set the rate you feel reflects your skills and experience.

Requirements to join

• At least 1 year of professional care experience.
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you need it).
• The right to work in the UK.
• Verifiable references from recent care roles.

Applying takes minutes. You create a profile, add your experience and availability, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. You can accept or decline each booking, choose to work just weekends or mix in short weekday shifts, and build a rota that suits you. We work across Poulton le Fylde and the surrounding towns including Thornton Cleveleys, Blackpool, Cleveleys, Preesall, Fleetwood and Wesham, so there’s flexibility for local travel.

If you value autonomy, want clearer pay for your work and prefer to arrange meaningful short-term support for families, PrimeCarers offers a straightforward route into ongoing, self-employed respite care. Start in minutes, manage your own hours and help give family carers a vital break.
