Weekend Carer Jobs in Hetton

PrimeCarers is looking for experienced, self-employed carers in Hetton to provide respite cover on weekends and short stays. You’ll support family carers by stepping in for a few hours up to a few days, helping with personal care, companionship, medication prompting and light domestic tasks as agreed with each family. You choose who you work for and when, and set your own rates with typical pay of £19–£20 per hour. Right now, 4 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This kind of work suits carers who value variety and autonomy. If you prefer weekend shifts, short-notice cover or occasional overnight support, you can build a pattern that fits around other commitments. Many carers who move from agency work tell us they enjoy the clearer control over hours and the closer working relationship with families in Hetton and the surrounding area.

PrimeCarers makes the admin straightforward. We find you clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you are on a job. You remain self-employed: you set your own rates, choose clients and accept the hours that work for you. Typical pay details are shown as ranges so families know what to expect: £19–£20 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for longer live-in days.

Who we’re looking for

• At least 1 year of professional care experience—you’ll need to be confident supporting people with day-to-day tasks and offering reassuring companionship.
• Enhanced DBS check—PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you don’t already have one.
• The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

Working across Hetton and nearby towns such as Grassington, Skipton, Silsden, Barnoldswick, Settle and Ilkley, you’ll be part of a community of carers who prefer flexible, local work in North Yorkshire. Applying takes only minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can be visible to families quickly.

If you’re an experienced carer ready to take more control of your work, respite roles give you a valuable way to help families while keeping the freedom you want. Set your rates, pick the hours, and let PrimeCarers manage the paperwork so you can focus on care in Hetton and beyond.

Ready to get started? Apply in minutes and we’ll guide you through verification, DBS help and profile setup so you can start seeing clients in and around Hetton as soon as you’re cleared.
