Weekend Carer Jobs in Cricklewood

Looking for weekend and short-term respite work in Cricklewood that fits around your life? PrimeCarers connects self-employed private carers directly with families who need cover for a few hours, overnight or a couple of days — often at weekends. Right now, 228 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Respite shifts vary: sitting with someone while a family member rests, supporting personal care for a few hours, or delivering longer weekend support so a carer can take a short break. Work can include companionship, medication prompting, help with mobility and personal care, light household tasks related to care, and keeping someone safe and comfortable while their family member is away. These roles suit experienced carers who value flexibility and want to move away from agency rota pressures.

On PrimeCarers you are self-employed, set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you. Typical pay sits around £18.80–£20.10 per hour depending on the family and the care required. You’ll be able to accept short bookings or regular weekend rounds — it’s up to you. You decide whether to offer day visits, overnight stays or live-in cover where appropriate.

We make the admin straightforward. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. If you cover Cricklewood you may also find work in nearby areas such as Childs Hill, Dollis Hill, West Hampstead, Brondesbury, Willesden and Brent Cross and across Brent.

Who we’re looking for:

• At least 1 year of professional care experience;
• An Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this if you need it);
• The right to work in the UK;
• Verifiable references from recent care roles.

PrimeCarers is a good fit if you want more control over your working week than agency life offers. You keep the freedom to accept or refuse work, arrange your own travel, and build longer relationships with families if you choose. Many carers use PrimeCarers to supplement evening and weekend income while keeping weekday commitments.

How to start: apply online in minutes, upload your references and DBS, and once verified your profile can go live within days. From there you can review client requests and accept the bookings that suit you. If you already work in Brent or live near Cricklewood, you’ll find short-term respite opportunities nearby without the agency paperwork.
