Weekend Carer Jobs in Lutterworth

Are you an experienced carer in Lutterworth looking for short-term and weekend respite work that fits your life? PrimeCarers connects self-employed private carers directly with families who need cover from a few hours to a few days — ideal for weekend shifts, ad-hoc breaks or planned short stays in and around Lutterworth and nearby towns such as Rugby, Earl Shilton, Hinckley, Wigston Magna, Braunstone Town and Oadby. Right now, 8 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Respite work here is practical and varied. You might support a family while the main carer has a weekend away, step in for an evening so someone can attend medical appointments, or provide a couple of days’ cover for recovery after hospital discharge. Tasks are the kind you already know: personal care, medication prompting, companionship, light meal prep and safe transfers when needed. Shifts suit people who value flexibility — you pick the jobs you want, the hours you work and the distances you travel across Lutterworth and the wider parts of Leicestershire.

Pay and flexibility are in your hands: carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and many respite roles fall within £18.50–£20 per hour. Typical hourly and live-in ranges are shown on the platform as £18.50–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day so you can quote confidently when you match with a family.

This opportunity is aimed at experienced, self-employed carers who want more control than agency patterns often allow. To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you need it). We never post a single advertised post — we introduce you to ongoing chances to provide respite care across Lutterworth and nearby areas of Leicestershire.

PrimeCarers makes the admin straightforward: we find clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re working on bookings arranged through the platform. You choose which families to accept, set your hours and keep the freedom of self-employed work. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can start seeing suitable respite requests quickly.

If you’re ready for weekend and short-term respite work that respects your skills and time, it’s easy to get started.
