This platform advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities — not a single, fixed role. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates. You pick your clients, hours and service area; many carers cover Salisbury and surrounding Wiltshire towns such as Wilton, Amesbury, Fordingbridge, Tisbury, Tidworth and Verwood.

Typical work for weekend respite carers includes:

• Personal care such as assistance with washing, dressing and mobility support.
• Companionship and meaningful activity to keep people safe and engaged during a break.
• Medication prompting and observation, plus light domestic tasks related to care.

Pay and flexibility matter. Set your own rates and accept the bookings that suit you — typical rates range around £19–£22.50 per hour depending on the family and duties. Many carers prefer short weekend bookings to fit family life, study or other work.

PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. That means you can focus on the care and choose the offers that fit your timetable without agency rota pressures.

To join you’ll need:

• At least 1 year of professional care experience.
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you don’t have a recent check).
• The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification. You remain self-employed: you set your hours, choose the types of respite cover you accept and control your service area — many carers cover Salisbury and nearby communities across Wiltshire.

If you’re an experienced carer thinking about stepping away from agency shifts but want reliable, local respite bookings and clear admin support, PrimeCarers could be the change you’re after. Apply now and have a profile ready to accept weekend care work in Salisbury within days.
