Description
Weekend respite care in Chad Valley gives family carers a chance to rest while you provide short-term, reliable support. Roles are typically for a few hours, an overnight or occasionally a couple of days — ideal if you want regular weekend work or ad-hoc cover. Right now, 29 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
These opportunities suit experienced, professional carers who want more control than agency work: you’re self-employed, you set your own rates and choose clients, hours and your service area across Chad Valley and nearby communities such as Five Ways, Edgbaston, Brindleyplace, Ladywood, Harborne and Bournbrook. Work focuses on respite support — personal care, companionship, medication prompts and safe moving with agreed care plans — always agreed between you and the family.
Typical pay sits in the range £18.50–£20 per hour, and you decide whether you accept weekend bookings, short stays or overnight care. PrimeCarers handles client matching and takes care of contracts, invoicing and payments for you, with insurance included while you work. That means you can focus on care, not paperwork.
To join you’ll need 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 arrange a DBS if you need one. We verify references and checks before profiles go live — applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification. We support carers across the West Midlands from Chad Valley out to surrounding areas, so you can accept work that fits your travel and availability.
We’re advertising ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than a single placement. That makes this a good fit if you want to move away from rigid rotas and have more influence over when and where you work. Many carers join to pick up weekend respite shifts alongside other work, to build a reliable patch of clients, or to specialise in short-term cover that gives families a proper break.
