Weekend Carer Jobs in Banchory

Join PrimeCarers to provide weekend and short-term respite care in and around Banchory. These roles are all about giving family carers a break — cover can be anything from a few hours in an evening to a couple of days at weekends, supporting people in their own homes. There is 1 family currently looking for care in the wider area.

This work suits experienced, compassionate carers who want flexibility and more control than traditional agency shifts. If you live in Banchory or the surrounding Aberdeenshire area, you can accept bookings that fit your life and commitments. You might travel occasionally to nearby towns such as Westhill, Red Cloak, Stonehaven, Kemnay, Kintore and Portlethen; many carers balance local weekend cover with weekday commitments or family life.

As a PrimeCarers self-employed carer you set your own fees and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Typical rates vary, and many carers advertise within £18.80–£20 per hour. You can list hourly availability using £18.80–£20 per hour and, where appropriate, offer live-in respite using £144–£160 per day. There is no fixed rota — you pick the bookings you want.

PrimeCarers finds the families, handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance cover while you are working on a PrimeCarers booking. Applying takes minutes and, once we’ve verified your checks and references, profiles typically go live within days. That means you can start seeing suitable short-term and weekend bookings in Banchory quickly.

What we ask to join

• At least 1 year of professional care experience.
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this if needed).
• The right to work in the UK.
• Verifiable references from recent care roles.

These are ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than a single post. If you’re ready to move away from rigid agency shifts and want to offer genuine respite to families in Banchory, creating a PrimeCarers profile takes minutes and can open up regular weekend work without losing control of your hours or rates.
