Weekend Carer Jobs in Dorking

Looking for weekend respite work in Dorking, Surrey? PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with local families needing short-term and weekend cover — from a few hours to a couple of days. You pick the clients, the hours and the service area; you set your own rates and working pattern. Right now, 90 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Respite shifts vary: evening sitting, companionship through a weekend, short overnight stays or a block of daytime cover while family carers take a break. The work suits carers who value variety and want to build relationships with families without agency rotas. Typical duties include:

• companionship and conversation
• assistance with personal care and mobility where required
• medication prompting and simple record-keeping
• light domestic tasks and meal support
• overnight or live-in support for short periods

As a PrimeCarers carer you are self-employed and free to set the rates that suit you — typical ranges are shown on the platform (for example £18.80–£21.50 per hour). You can advertise hourly or live-in availability using £18.80–£21.50 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live-in day rates if relevant. PrimeCarers brings the enquiries, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work, so you can focus on the care.

Joining takes a few simple steps and only minutes to apply.

To join you’ll need at least one year of recent professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references.
