Weekend Carer Jobs in Custom House

Looking for short‑term or weekend respite work in Custom House? PrimeCarers connects self‑employed carers with families who need cover from a few hours to a few days — giving family carers a well‑earned break. You’ll find roles supporting people at home with personal care, medication prompts, companionship and light domestic tasks while relatives rest or travel.

Right now, 229 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Work is ideal for experienced carers who want flexible, predictable respite roles across Custom House and nearby areas such as Shoreditch, Finsbury, Spitalfields, Barbican, St Lukes and Eastside. You can expect to cover shifts that range from a couple of hours up to a weekend stay, tailored to the family’s needs. Many carers choose weekend work to fit around other commitments or agency hours; others take occasional live‑in bookings. You set your availability and your area, and you keep control of your diary.

Pay and flexibility: carers on PrimeCarers are self‑employed and set their own rates — many list within £18.80–£20 per hour depending on the care required and hours. PrimeCarers finds the clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance for the time you’re working. We’re not advertising one single shift here, but ongoing self‑employed opportunities across Custom House and Islington for carers who want more control than agency work.

What we ask of applicants: at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one if needed), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. You’ll need to be comfortable with personal care tasks, clear communication with families, and basic record‑keeping for each visit. If you specialise in dementia, palliative or complex care, mention that on your profile — families often filter by experience.

How joining works: applying takes minutes. Create a short profile, upload your checks and references, and PrimeCarers will verify you. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and then you can start accepting bookings that suit you. While you work, PrimeCarers takes care of contracts, client billing and payments so you can focus on care.

If you’re based in Custom House or nearby and want weekend respite work that fits your life, this is a straightforward way to move away from rigid rotas while keeping professional support behind you.
