Description
Weekend respite care in Camberley is about giving family carers a reliable break — from a few hours on a Saturday evening to a couple of days away. On PrimeCarers you’ll work as a self-employed carer providing short-term and weekend cover, spending focused time supporting people at home with personal care, companionship, medication prompts and light household tasks. Right now, 50 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Shifts vary: an evening call, daytime sitting, or overnight support for a weekend away. These roles suit experienced, confident carers who value continuity of care and the chance to build direct relationships with families in Camberley and across Surrey. Many carers joining PrimeCarers are moving away from agency schedules and want more control over who they support and when.
Pay and flexibility: Carers set their own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that work for them. Typical pay sits around £19–£22 per hour, and you keep control of your diary and availability. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working — so you get the freedom of self-employment without the admin alone.
