Weekend Carer Jobs in Moseley

Looking for short-term or weekend respite work in Moseley? PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with local families needing cover from a few hours to a few days. These roles are ideal if you want to give family carers a reliable break while keeping control over your time and rates. Right now, 29 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Work in Moseley and nearby areas like Wake Green, Balsall Heath, Showell Green, Sparkhill, Kings Heath and Sparkbrook. You’ll be providing support that can include personal care, companionship, medication prompts, preparing meals, light household tasks and supporting social outings — whatever a family agrees with you. Respite shifts can be daytime, evenings or weekend stays; some carers do regular weekend rounds while others prefer ad-hoc cover.

This is genuine self-employed work: you choose your clients, set your own hours and decide how far you’ll travel in the West Midlands. Many carers like the flexibility of setting their own rates and keeping more control than they had with agencies. Typical pay sits around £18.50–£20 per hour and you can list your preferred hourly and live-in ranges on your profile (£18.50–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day).

PrimeCarers finds clients for you and looks after contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included while you work. That means less admin for you and clearer agreements with families. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

Who this suits

If you have at least one year of professional care experience and want more autonomy, this could be a good fit. You’ll be most comfortable if you’re used to working independently, have strong communication with families and can manage practical care tasks and gentler companionship duties. Many carers joining from agency roles appreciate being able to pick the shifts they want and keep clearer boundaries around working hours in Moseley and across the West Midlands.

Basic requirements to join

• At least 1 year of professional care experience
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one)
• The right to work in the UK
• Verifiable references

If you’re ready to move away from agency rotas and choose the respite work that fits your life, creating a PrimeCarers profile is straightforward. You set your availability, describe the care you offer and set your rates — families contact you, and PrimeCarers supports the paperwork and payments. Profiles go live within days of verification, so you could be offering weekend cover in Moseley very quickly.
