Weekend Carer Jobs in Carryduff

Provide short-term respite care and weekend cover to families across Carryduff and the wider Castlereagh area. These roles are all about giving family carers a reliable break — from a few hours to a few days — so people can stay at home with the support they need. If you’ve worked in care for at least a year and want to move away from agency rota pressures, this could suit you perfectly.

Right now, 2 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you choose which bookings you accept, the hours you work and the area you cover. Many carers pick up weekend shifts or short-block bookings that fit around other commitments, and set rates that reflect their experience and the level of care required. Typical pay ranges seen on the platform are £18.80–£20 per hour. You can decide whether to offer hourly visits or longer live-in support to suit families locally.

Work in Carryduff and nearby communities such as Saintfield, Comber, Dundonald, Ballynahinch, Holywood and Newtownards. You’ll typically be asked to provide companionship, personal care, medication prompts, or household support during respite stays. Shifts vary: some families need a few hours on a weekend morning, others need overnight cover for a couple of nights. PrimeCarers advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities, not a single post.

PrimeCarers finds clients and handles the paperwork so you can focus on care. We manage contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. That administrative support is designed for carers who want to keep the independence of self-employment without running all the back-office tasks themselves.

Requirements to join

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

Applying takes minutes and you’ll build a profile that explains your experience, availability and the types of respite you offer. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, after checks and references are completed. Many carers who move to PrimeCarers value the flexibility to choose clients across Carryduff and Castlereagh while setting their own terms.
