Weekend Carer Jobs in Knutsford

Weekend respite care in Knutsford gives family carers a real break — from a few hours on a Saturday to short stays over a weekend or a couple of days. These roles are for self-employed carers providing short-term support: companionship, personal care, medication prompting and household help while relatives rest. Right now, 21 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This is an ongoing opportunity to offer flexible, paid respite work across Knutsford and the surrounding area. As a carer on PrimeCarers you choose which families to work with, set your own hours and manage your service area. Typical pay sits around £18.50–£20 per hour and you decide the rate you charge. Work can be regular weekend cover, occasional evening support or short stays that help local families keep loved ones at home.

What the role involves:

• Short-term and weekend cover to give family carers a break, from a few hours to a few days.
• Personal care (washing, dressing), meal support, companionship and light domestic tasks.
• Night respite and waking nights when families need extra cover.

Who this suits: experienced carers who prefer autonomy over agency rosters, people used to building trusting relationships, and those who want to focus on meaningful short-term work in Knutsford and wider Cheshire. You might already cover nearby places such as Ringway, Altrincham, Wilmslow, Northwich, Dollar and Newall Green and want to add local weekend shifts.

PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments for you, and includes insurance while you work. You remain self-employed, set your own rates and choose the customers you accept. This is not a single placement but an ongoing way to find local respite work on terms that suit you.

Minimum requirements to join:

• At least 1 year of professional care experience.
• An Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one if needed).
• The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
