Weekend Carer Jobs in Battle

Looking for short-term and weekend respite work around Battle? PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families who need cover from a few hours to a few days. You choose the clients, hours and service area — and you set your own rate. Right now, 5 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Respite work suits experienced carers who want variety and flexibility. Typical tasks include companionship, medication prompts, personal care, help with meals, light household support and safe transfers. You might cover an evening so a family member can go out for a few hours, provide a full weekend of relief, or stay for a couple of days while a family carer recovers. Roles often involve familiar, consistent clients rather than one-off shifts, so you can build relationships on your own terms.

Pay and practicalities: you set your own rates and keep control of which bookings you accept. Many carers on PrimeCarers work within the range shown for this role: £19–£21.30 per hour. PrimeCarers handles finding clients, contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work. You remain self-employed at all times and free to arrange hours that fit your life.

This is a good fit if you are an experienced carer thinking of moving away from agency rotas. You’ll have more control over where you travel — covering Battle and nearby areas such as Bexhill on Sea, Hastings, Ore Valley, Winchelsea, Heathfield and Hailsham — and can prioritise weekend and short-term bookings that suit your schedule across East Sussex.

Requirements to join are straightforward: at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check. PrimeCarers can help if you need to arrange an Enhanced DBS. We verify profiles quickly so many carers go live within days of applying.

How to apply: creating a profile takes minutes. Add your experience, upload references and confirm your right to work. Once verified, PrimeCarers starts matching you with families looking for reliable respite cover in and around Battle. You remain in control of which introductions you accept.
