Weekend Carer Jobs in Abergavenny

If you’re an experienced carer looking for flexible weekend and short-term respite work in Abergavenny, PrimeCarers connects you directly with local families who need cover from a few hours up to a few days. These are ongoing self-employed opportunities across Abergavenny and nearby Crickhowell, Brynmawr, Blaina, Abertillery, Ebbw Vale and Usk. Right now, 3 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This role is focused on respite care: giving family carers a break, supporting people at home, keeping routines, and providing companionship and personal care as needed. You’ll be choosing the jobs that suit you — weekend nights, daytime cover or short stays — and you control how much you take on. As a self-employed carer you set your own rates (typical £18.10–£20 per hour) and decide your hours and service area.

PrimeCarers does the admin so you can concentrate on caring. We find clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. That means less paperwork than agency models and clearer, direct relationships with the families you support in Abergavenny and across Monmouthshire.

Who this suits

• Experienced carers with at least one year of professional care experience who want more control over their working week.
• Carers who prefer short-term, weekend or respite work rather than fixed long-term placements.
• People ready to work self-employed: choosing clients, setting hours and managing their diary.

What you need to join

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

Applying takes minutes and creating a profile is straightforward; profiles typically go live within days of verification. You remain self-employed, set your own terms and accept the shifts that fit your life. If you’re used to agency work but want clearer pay, less admin and more say over where and when you work in Abergavenny, this could be the change you’re looking for.
