Weekend Carer Jobs in Tyldsley

PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families in Tyldsley looking for short-term and weekend respite cover. You’ll provide breaks for family carers — anything from a couple of hours in the evening to a few days of weekend support — while staying in control of your diary and the people you accept. Right now, 27 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Respite work suits carers who value flexibility and hands-on support. Typical tasks include personal care, companionship, medication prompts, light meal preparation and supporting outings. You may work in a person’s home, provide overnight assistance or cover day-time relief. Many carers choose Tyldsley roles because they offer variety and the chance to build ongoing relationships without the administrative overhead of agency life.

As a PrimeCarers carer you are self-employed: you set your own rates and choose your own clients, hours and service area. PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments — and provides insurance cover while you’re on a booking. Typical pay falls in the range £18.50–£20 per hour depending on the family and the support required. You’ll see the hourly and live-in ranges when you create your profile, so you can decide what works for you.

We ask for at least one year’s professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. If you already have an Enhanced DBS, bring that along; if not, PrimeCarers can guide you through getting one. Our verification step is straightforward and applying takes minutes — profiles typically go live within days of verification.

Tyldsley sits within easy reach of other towns, so you can pick nearby bookings if you like: Atherton, Leigh, Lee Bank, Walkden, Worsley and Farnworth. Many carers who work across Tyldsley and the surrounding area also pick up weekend shifts in Manchester and nearby suburbs to top up their availability without changing their hours during the week.

If you’re used to agency routines but want more control over who you work for and when, this role could suit you. You remain self-employed throughout, choose the respite bookings you accept and negotiate the care you provide directly with families. Joining is simple: sign up, complete checks and start accepting bookings that match your skills and availability.
