Weekend Carer Jobs in Stourport on Severn

Provide short-term and weekend respite care to families across Stourport on Severn and nearby villages. You’ll cover short breaks ranging from a few hours to a few days, giving family carers the rest they need while supporting people with personal care, medication prompts, companionship and light household tasks. This is locally focused, flexible work for experienced carers who want to work independently. Right now, 21 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Respite shifts vary: one-off weekend stays, overnight cover, daytime relief or a few hours of companionship so a primary carer can run errands. Many assignments are in private homes across Stourport on Severn and Worcestershire, with travel to neighbouring towns sometimes needed. You won’t be tied to rotas — you pick the bookings that suit you and the people you prefer to work with.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical assignments in the area pay £18.50–£20 per hour. PrimeCarers finds the clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work, so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.

Who this suits

• Carers with at least one year of professional care experience who want more control over when and where they work.
• People used to delivering personal care, supporting mobility, administering simple medication prompts and offering meaningful companionship.
• Carers wanting weekend and short-term bookings rather than long-term live-in roles.

What you need to join

• At least 1 year of professional care experience.
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one).
• The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
