Weekend Carer Jobs in Aberfeldy

PrimeCarers is looking for experienced, self-employed carers to provide respite and weekend cover in Aberfeldy and surrounding Perthshire communities. You’ll support families who need short-term relief — from a few hours of help to entire weekend stays or occasional multi-day cover — while giving loved ones a safe, familiar presence. There is 1 family currently looking for care in the wider area.

This role suits skilled carers who want control over when and where they work. On PrimeCarers you set your own hours, choose the clients you accept and decide how far you’ll travel across Aberfeldy and nearby areas such as Pitlochry, Bridge of Tilt, Blair Atholl, Birnam, Scotland and Crieff. You also set your own rates, and many carers work within £15–£25 per hour depending on the care required and their experience.

Typical respite duties include companionship, personal care (help with washing, dressing and toileting where needed), medication prompts, domestic support and short-term mobility assistance. Some families ask for overnight stays or live-in cover for a few days; others need a reliable hand for a few hours on Saturdays or Sundays. You’ll often be asked to follow household routines and handovers from family carers.

PrimeCarers handles the practical side so you can focus on care: we introduce you to clients, manage contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance cover while you’re working. You remain self-employed and free to accept or decline any booking. For pay guidance we often see work falling within £15–£25 per hour for hourly care and £144–£160 per day for live-in day rates, but you set the final figure with each client.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. Many carers switching from agencies value the flexibility here: choose your own clients in Aberfeldy, control your diary and keep more of what you earn.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload your documents and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. If you work in and around Aberfeldy, or travel across Perthshire and Kinross to Pitlochry, Crieff or nearby villages, PrimeCarers can bring you families looking for reliable respite cover on weekends and short breaks.
