Weekend Carer Jobs in Haxby

Looking for weekend respite work in Haxby that fits around your life? PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families needing short-term and weekend cover — from a few hours to a few days. You choose who you work for, the hours you take and the area you cover, and you set your own rate within £18.80–£23 per hour. Right now, 4 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Respite shifts vary: sitting with someone at home, helping with personal care, companionship, medication prompts and light household tasks while the family carer rests or is away. This role suits experienced carers who want predictable, local weekend work and value the variety of short assignments rather than long placements. Much of the work advertised around Haxby also covers neighbouring towns such as Easingwold, Thornton Hill, Tadcaster, Norton on Derwent, Pocklington and Malton.

What you control: as a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you pick your clients, set the hours and decide your service area. PrimeCarers finds you clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. It’s a straightforward way to move away from agency rota pressure while keeping the practical support you need to run your own care business.

Pay and availability: many carers set rates in the range £18.80–£23 per hour; you decide what suits your experience and weekend availability. If you prefer hourly care, typical hourly ranges are £18.80–£23 per hour. You may take a few hours of evening or day shifts, or accept short live-in weekend stays to give family carers a longer break.

Who we need: we’re looking for carers with at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange one if needed), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You’ll need a reliable approach to documentation and basic digital skills to manage your PrimeCarers profile.

Applying takes minutes. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and you remain in control of which requests you accept. If you’re based in Haxby or the surrounding area and want to build regular weekend respite work while staying self-employed, PrimeCarers is designed to make that step straightforward.
