Weekend Carer Jobs in Sutton in Ashfield

Are you an experienced carer in Sutton in Ashfield looking for flexible weekend or short-term respite work? PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers directly with families who need cover for a few hours, overnight stays or a couple of days to give family carers a break. Right now, 10 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Respite roles are varied — you might provide companionship, help with personal care, support with transfers, medication reminders or assist with meals and outings. Most work is daytime and weekend support, but some families need evening or short live-in shifts. You choose the kinds of support you offer, the clients you accept and the hours you work.

As a PrimeCarers carer you are self-employed and set your own rates, typically £18.80–£20.80 per hour. PrimeCarers finds you clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. You retain control of your work: pick the areas you cover around Sutton in Ashfield and neighbouring towns such as Kirkby in Ashfield, Mansfield, Alfreton, Shirebrook, Clay Cross and Hucknall.

This kind of role suits experienced carers who want more control than agency life: if you value predictable weekends, the ability to turn down shifts and the freedom to set travel and care boundaries, this could be a better fit. Many carers move to PrimeCarers to keep their professional independence while still getting reliable introductions to families.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this) and verifiable references. You remain self-employed, so you manage your tax and NI, but we aim to make the admin easy: PrimeCarers manages client agreements and gets you paid promptly after work is completed.

Applying takes minutes and your profile typically goes live within days of verification. Once you're approved you can start viewing local respite requests and offering to cover the weekend or short-term shifts that suit you. Many carers set their availability just for weekends or occasional block bookings to fit around family life or other commitments.
