Weekend Carer Jobs in Camden

Looking for weekend and short-term respite work in Camden? PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families who need cover from a few hours to a few days — giving family carers a break and you the flexibility to choose the work that fits your life. Right now, 228 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Typical duties include companionship, personal care, medication prompts, light domestic support and keeping people safe and comfortable during short stays. Work is often evening, overnight or day cover at weekends, and can include planned short breaks in people’s homes or occasional live-in cover. Many roles are local to Camden and the surrounding areas such as Camden Town, Primrose Hill, Chalk Farm, Kentish Town, Somerstown and Kings Cross, and we also place carers across Greater London.

This is an ongoing self-employed opportunity rather than a single post. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and choose which clients to work with. Typical rates for this kind of respite work are within £18.80–£20 per hour depending on experience, duties and whether it is overnight or day cover. You decide your hours, your service area and which bookings to accept.

PrimeCarers handles the admin so you can focus on care. We find clients, manage contracts, take care of invoicing and payments and provide insurance while you work. You remain self-employed and free to work with other families or agencies if you wish.

Who this suits: experienced carers who want weekend or short-term respite shifts, people looking to leave agency rotas for more control, and those who prefer working directly with families. If you have at least one year’s professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange one) and verifiable references, you can apply. We require all carers to hold an Enhanced DBS check and provide references for verification.

How to apply: creating your PrimeCarers profile takes minutes. Upload your experience, references and DBS details and our team will verify them. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and you’ll start seeing suitable bookings in and around Camden straight away.

If you want reliable short-term and weekend respite work while keeping your independence and choosing your clients, join PrimeCarers and start taking control of your schedule in Camden and Greater London.
