Weekend Carer Jobs in Hucknall

Weekend and short-term respite cover in Hucknall helps families keep loved ones at home while giving family carers a real break. You’ll support people for a few hours, overnight or across a weekend — sitting, companionship, personal care, medication prompting and short stay support are all common. This is ongoing, self-employed work across Hucknall and nearby communities; you aren’t applying for one specific role. Right now, 5 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This kind of work suits experienced carers who want flexibility and control. On PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area you accept. Typical pay falls around £18.50–£20.50 per hour, with more detailed ranges shown for care-by-the-hour and live-in day cover (£18.50–£20.50 per hour and £145–£160 per day). Many carers move from agency work to find steadier, better fitting weekend and respite shifts in Hucknall and the wider Nottinghamshire area.

What you’ll do varies by household but often includes:

• Providing companionship and emotional support during stays.
• Assisting with personal care, continence needs and mobility support.
• Helping with light meal prep, prompting medication and following care plans.
• Overnight or short-stay supervision for families needing rest or time away.

Requirements to join PrimeCarers are straightforward: at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. PrimeCarers takes care of contracts, invoicing and payments for the work you accept, and insurance is included while you work through the platform.

How it works: create a profile in minutes, upload your documents and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. You remain fully self-employed — you decide which offers to accept, which hours to work and how far you’ll travel. We connect carers across Hucknall and neighbouring towns such as Bulwell, Kimberley, Arnold, Eastwood, Kirkby in Ashfield and Langley Mill so you can pick local work that fits your life.

If you’re ready to move away from shift rotas you don’t control, or to top up income with weekend respite work that fits your schedule, joining PrimeCarers is a practical next step. This is an ongoing opportunity to build a local client list for short-term and weekend cover in Hucknall and across Nottinghamshire while keeping the autonomy you want.
