Weekend Carer Jobs in Presteigne

Help families in Presteigne and the surrounding area with short-term respite care — from a few hours of weekend cover to a couple of days so family carers can recharge. This role is about practical, compassionate support: companionship, personal care, medication prompting, light meal prep and keeping someone safe at home while their family take a break. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

These ongoing self-employed opportunities suit experienced carers who want to move away from agency rota work and take control of when and where they work. You’ll be able to accept weekend or short-stay bookings that fit your life — afternoons, overnights or a full weekend — and focus on quality respite rather than long shifts. Many carers enjoy working through Presteigne town and nearby villages, and we often match work across Kington, Knighton, Old Radnor, Clun, Leominster and Cefnllys.

Pay and flexibility are built in. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates; typical ranges are £19.50–£21.50 per hour. You choose which clients to accept, which hours to do and how far you’ll travel across Powys. PrimeCarers handles the paperwork and admin so you can concentrate on care.

To join we ask for:

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

Once approved, you’ll get access to short-term and weekend bookings across Presteigne and the wider Powys area. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work, so you can operate confidently as a self-employed carer. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

If you’re used to agency routines but want more control, this is a straightforward way to transition: keep the care you love, choose your weekends, set the hours and keep your professional freedom. If you’d like practical respite work close to Presteigne and across the border communities, sign up and start seeing suitable requests in your area within a few days.
