Weekend Carer Jobs in South Woodgate

Respite care for families across South Woodgate: short-term and weekend cover that gives a family carer a trusted break, from a few hours to a few days. You’ll help people stay safe and comfortable at home while their usual carer takes time out — perfect if you want weekend or occasional shifts rather than a full-time role.

Right now, 28 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Work typically includes personal care, companionship, medication prompts, mobility support and short overnight sitting. Much of the respite work is in private homes across South Woodgate and nearby areas, and duties are agreed with the family before each booking. Shifts vary, so you can pick the short daytime visits or multi-day weekend stays that suit you.

PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families and handles contracts, invoicing and payments — with insurance included while you work. Carers set their own rates and choose clients, hours and service area, so you’re in control. Typical pay sits around £18.50–£20 per hour depending on your experience and the care required; you’ll also see £18.50–£20 per hour listed on profiles and £145–£160 per day for longer live-in days.

This work suits experienced carers who want flexibility: people leaving agency rosters, part-time carers who need weekend hours, or those building a private client list. To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You remain self-employed at all times and can accept or decline any booking.
