Weekend Carer Jobs in Stoke Newington

PrimeCarers is connecting self-employed carers with families in Stoke Newington who need short-term respite and weekend cover. You’ll support family carers by providing a few hours of relief, evening or overnight support, or short breaks of a few days — all on terms you choose. You set your own rates, choose clients and pick the hours that suit you in Stoke Newington and nearby areas.

Right now, 222 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Typical duties include companionship, personal care, medication prompting, household tasks and respite that gives family carers a real break. Work ranges from a single evening to a few days of live-in respite; every arrangement is agreed between you and the family. This role suits experienced carers who value flexibility and more control than traditional agency shifts. Many of our carers work across Stoke Newington and Hackney, and travel to nearby neighbourhoods such as Stamford Hill, Shacklewell, West Hackney, Highbury, Finsbury Park and Upper Clapton.

Pay and flexibility are central. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates. Typical ranges are shown so families know what to expect, but you decide your fee. For reference listings may display £18.80–£20 per hour, with common hourly and live-in bands shown as £18.80–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day. PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work, so you can focus on care.

To join you 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 do not ask you to commit to fixed rotas; you pick the shifts and clients that fit your life. If you currently work through agencies but want clearer control over hours and rates, this is built for experienced carers ready to work independently.

How to apply: it takes minutes to create a profile. Add your experience, upload references and any existing DBS. PrimeCarers verifies your details and your profile typically goes live within days of verification. Once live, you can review client requests and accept the short-term or weekend work that suits you.
