Weekend Carer Jobs in Halesowen

Weekend and short-term respite care in Halesowen gives family carers a much-needed break — from a few hours to a couple of days. These ongoing, self-employed opportunities are for experienced carers who want control over when and where they work, and who prefer short, meaningful assignments that fit around life in Halesowen and the wider West Midlands.

Right now, 25 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Respite work typically involves supporting a person at home with personal care, companionship, assistance with meals and medication prompts, plus light household tasks to keep the environment safe and comfortable. Shifts can be daytime weekends, evening support or short live-in breaks; each booking is different, so you choose the work that suits your skills and availability.

This is for carers who already have practical experience. On PrimeCarers you are self-employed: you set your own rates, choose clients, hours and your service area. Typical pay on the platform is £18.50–£20 per hour; many assignments sit within £18.50–£20 per hour for hourly care or £145–£160 per day for live-in respite. You decide which bookings to accept and how many hours you take each week.

PrimeCarers finds the families and handles the admin so you can focus on care. We manage client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included while you work. That administrative support is especially helpful if you’re used to agency systems but want more freedom over your working pattern around Halesowen, or nearby Quinton, South Woodgate, Cradley Heath, Maypole, Bartley Green and Lye.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify profiles quickly: applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

If you’re considering leaving an agency for more control — keeping the care you love but choosing when and whom to work with — PrimeCarers offers a practical route. Opportunities in Halesowen focus on respite and weekend cover and are suited to confident, experienced carers who want reliable local bookings across the West Midlands.
