Weekend Carer Jobs in Tredegar

Are you an experienced carer in Tredegar looking for weekend and short-term respite work that fits around your life? PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers directly with families needing cover from a few hours to a few days — ideal if you want to provide short-term breaks for family carers, evening or weekend relief, or overnight support. You choose the clients you accept, the hours you work and the area you serve.

Right now, 4 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Respite roles vary: some families need a few hours of companionship and personal care so a family carer can run errands; others need weekend or multi-day cover when the regular carer is away. Work is often in private homes across Tredegar and surrounding communities, including Tafarnaubach, Ebbw Vale, Brynmawr, Blaina, Abertillery and Crickhowell. These opportunities suit skilled, compassionate carers who prefer flexibility and direct relationships with families rather than the constraints of agency rotas.

Pay and flexibility: carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates. Typical pay for these roles is £18.80–£22 per hour. You’ll see a range of bookings — short daytime calls, evening visits or longer weekend stays — and you decide which you take. For clarity, typical care ranges are shown as £18.80–£22 per hour for hourly work and £145–£160 per day for live-in day rates.

PrimeCarers makes the admin easy. We find clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you’re working on a booking. That lets you focus on care and relationships rather than chasing paperwork. Many carers come to us after agency work because they want control over their hours, clients and rates while keeping the security of an organised platform.

Who we’re looking for: you must have 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. If you already live in or near Tredegar or elsewhere in Blaenau Gwent and have the skills to provide safe, person-centred respite, you’ll fit well here.

Applying takes minutes — complete a profile, upload your DBS and references, and our team verifies details. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you could be accepting weekend bookings soon. If you want more control over the work you do and to support families needing short-term relief, PrimeCarers in Tredegar is set up to help you get started quickly.
