Weekend Carer Jobs in Upper Holloway

Looking for short-term or weekend care work in Upper Holloway that fits around your life? PrimeCarers connects experienced self-employed carers with families who need respite cover — from a couple of hours’ support to a few days’ relief for family carers. Work on evenings and weekends giving families a break and build a rota that suits you locally.

Right now, 223 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This type of respite work is ideal if you have at least a year of professional care experience and want to move away from agency schedules. On PrimeCarers you set your own rates, choose the clients you accept and decide your hours and service area. The typical rate range for these roles is £18.80–£20 per hour.

You’ll be supporting families across Upper Holloway and nearby areas including Archway, Tufnell Park, Highgate, Gospel Oak, Holloway and Kentish Town. Tasks often include companionship, medication reminders, personal care, helping with meals and short-term support while a family carer rests or attends appointments. Shifts vary: some are a few hours on a Saturday night, others are day cover over a weekend — the work suits reliable, compassionate carers who can adapt to different homes and needs.

• Who can join: at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
• How it works: you remain self-employed and set your own hourly rate and availability. PrimeCarers finds families, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work.
