Weekend Carer Jobs in South Tottenham

Are you an experienced carer offering short-term or weekend respite cover? Families across South Tottenham are looking for compassionate, reliable people to give regular family carers a break — from a few hours up to a few days. Work can be evening or weekend support, short stays or daytime cover: the focus is practical, dignified care that lets families recharge and keep loved ones at home.
Right now, 224 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This is an ongoing self-employed opportunity: carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and choose their clients, hours and service area. Typical pay for respite work sits around £18.80–£20 per hour and you decide what you’ll charge. You’ll pick the bookings you want and keep control of your diary — ideal if you’re thinking of moving away from agency rotas and want more flexibility around weekends and short breaks in South Tottenham and greater Haringey.

Respite work often includes companionship, medication prompts, supporting personal care, meal preparation and keeping someone safe and comfortable while the family rests. It suits people who enjoy working one-to-one, who can use calm judgement and who have at least a year’s professional care experience.

What PrimeCarers handles:

• We connect you with families and manage contracts, invoicing and payments.
• We include insurance while you work and support smoother, safer bookings.
• PrimeCarers can help arrange an Enhanced DBS if you need one.

Simple requirements to join

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