Weekend Carer Jobs in Lampeter

Looking for short-term and weekend respite work around Lampeter? PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with local families who need cover from a few hours to a few days. You pick the clients, the hours and the area you want to work in; you set your own rates. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

Respite care on PrimeCarers covers a wide range of short-term support: companionship and social visits, help with personal care and mobility, medication prompts, short overnight stays and longer weekend cover when family carers need a break. Shifts can be daytime visits, evenings, or multi-day blocks — whatever you and the family agree. Typical rates are £15–£25 per hour, but you remain in control of the rate you offer and the hours you accept. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work.

This kind of work suits carers who value autonomy and continuity: people who want to move away from agency rotas and long-term placements while still doing meaningful hands-on care. If you already work in or near Lampeter or elsewhere in Ceredigion, or travel to nearby towns such as Tregaron, Llandysul, Aberaeron, Wales, Newquay and New Quay, you can concentrate on respite bookings at weekends or offer ad-hoc short-term cover.

What we need from you

• At least 1 year of professional care experience.
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you need it).
• The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
• Good communication and a professional, person-centred approach to respite work.
