Weekend Carer Jobs in Broxbourne

Looking for reliable weekend and short-term respite work in Broxbourne? PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families who need cover for a few hours, an overnight stay or a couple of days so family carers can have a break. You’ll be matched with introductions that suit your skills and availability. Right now, 132 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These roles are ideal if you’ve got at least a year’s professional care experience and want more control than agencies typically allow. Many carers on PrimeCarers work weekends only, or combine weekday shifts with short breaks, so you can build a schedule that fits family life, college, or other commitments in Broxbourne and nearby areas like Hoddesdon, Cheshunt, Waltham Cross, Waltham Abbey, Hertford and Ware.

How the work looks in practice:

• Respite and short-term cover: sitting services, daytime support, evening or overnight stays, short block bookings from a few hours to several days.
• Client types: older adults, people with dementia, adults with learning or physical disabilities — all needing dependable, compassionate short-term help.
• Locations: primarily Broxbourne and surrounding Hertfordshire towns; you choose the distance you’ll travel.

Pay and flexibility: carers set their own rates and choose which introductions to accept. Typical rates for this kind of work are £18.80–£20 per hour. PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you’re working on a placement.

What we ask of applicants:

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

Why carers switch from agency work: many tell us they value the freedom to set their own hours, choose clients and keep a clearer relationship with the families they support.
