Weekend Carer Jobs in South Yardley

If you’re an experienced carer in South Yardley who prefers short-term, weekend or occasional work, PrimeCarers connects you directly with local families needing respite. Many shifts are weekend cover or a few hours to a few days, giving family carers the break they need while you keep control of your time. Right now, 26 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Respite assignments vary. You might provide companionship, help with personal care, support with meals, manage medication prompts, or do short overnight stays so a family carer can rest. Work can be hands-on or lighter depending on the family’s needs — the key is reliable, respectful presence for a limited period.

This kind of work suits people who want to move away from agency routines without losing steady work. You’ll be working as self-employed: you set your own hours, choose which clients to accept and define your service area within South Yardley and nearby parts of the West Midlands. Many carers take weekend-only patterns, or a mix of short weekday visits and longer weekend stays.

Pay is transparent: carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and typically fall within £18.50–£20 per hour depending on duties and location. You control how much you work and which bookings you accept. Travel around South Yardley and local surrounds such as Gilbertstone, Hay Mills, Yardley, Wells Green, Sheldon and Lyndon Green is common, so consider your availability and travel time when setting rates and accepting work.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We handle the administration: PrimeCarers finds clients, manages contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work — so you can focus on care, not paperwork.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload your qualifications and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. You remain fully in control — choose the clients, hours and areas you want to work in South Yardley and across the West Midlands.
