Weekend Carer Jobs in Bala

These roles are short-term and weekend cover — from a few hours to a few days — helping family carers get a break and supporting people in their own homes. There is 1 family currently looking for care in the wider area.

Work is local to Bala and the surrounding area, including Corwen, Carrog, Llanfachreth, Ffestiniog, Betws y Coed and Blaenau Ffestiniog. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Many carers use the platform to offer weekend or short-notice respite shifts that fit around other commitments.

Typical work includes companionship, personal care, medication prompts, meal support, moving and handling where appropriate, and giving family carers the peace of mind to take a break. You’ll be meeting families who need reliable cover for a few hours, overnight or across a weekend. This role suits experienced carers who can work independently, read care plans and respond calmly to changing needs.

Pay and practicalities are transparent: carers set their own rates and most offer within £15–£25 per hour. PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and secure payments, and provides insurance while you’re working. You remain self-employed and free to accept only the work you choose.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. Many applicants switching from agency setups find the flexibility and clearer terms a welcome change—especially those who want weekend or respite-only work in and around Bala.

Applying takes minutes: create a short profile, upload your documents and references, and PrimeCarers will verify your details. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, after which you can start viewing and choosing shifts that suit you.
