Weekend Carer Jobs in Sudbury

Looking for flexible weekend and short-stay care work in Sudbury that fits around family life? This role focuses on respite cover — everything from a few hours to overnight stays and a couple of days’ relief so family carers can take a break. We connect self-employed carers directly with families who need weekend or short-term support. Right now, 6 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This kind of work suits experienced carers who enjoy practical support and companionship: help with personal care, medication prompting, mealtimes, light domestic tasks and meaningful social time. Shifts are often predictable and time-limited, so you can plan other commitments. If you’re used to agency routines but want more control over the work you do and the clients you accept, this is designed for you.

As a PrimeCarers carer you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical pay is shown as £18.80–£20 per hour for these kinds of shifts. PrimeCarers finds clients, manages contracts, handles invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working — so you keep the flexibility of self-employment without all the admin. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

Who can 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.

We cover Sudbury and the surrounding area, with opportunities close to towns such as Halstead, Clare, Hadleigh, Coggeshall, Colchester and Haverhill. Work tends to be local and you choose the distances you’re willing to travel. PrimeCarers supports you through verification and client introductions, and you remain self-employed throughout.

If you’re ready to swap restrictive rotas for short-term, meaningful respite work in Sudbury and across Suffolk, creating your own schedule and fees, it only takes a few minutes to apply. Build a profile, get verified and start selecting the weekend or short-stay bookings that suit you.
