Weekend Carer Jobs in Uttoxeter

Looking for short-term and weekend respite work in and around Uttoxeter? PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families who need cover — from a few hours to a couple of days — so family carers can take a break. You’ll be offering companionship, personal care, medication prompts, support with daily routines and sitting-in or overnight checks as required. Right now, 13 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Respite roles are perfect for experienced carers who want flexibility and clearer control over their working life. Many of the carers we match in Uttoxeter are used to agency systems and are now choosing who they work for, when they work and where they travel within Staffordshire and nearby towns such as Hatton, Rugeley, Ashbourne, Burton upon Trent, Stone and Stafford. You set your own availability, pick clients you feel suited to and choose your service area.

Pay is set by you: PrimeCarers supports self-employed carers who charge between £18.80–£20.50 per hour and handles client introductions so you can focus on care. While you’re working for a family through the platform, PrimeCarers takes care of contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included during shifts.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify documents and references quickly so profiles typically go live within days of submission. Applying takes minutes and is designed for busy carers who want to move away from rigid rotas and large agency overheads.

If you’re used to shift work but want more control over your hours and clients, respite cover at weekends can slot around family life, other work or study. Work might be daytime sitting-in for a few hours, evening relief or short overnight stays — everything is agreed between you and the family before work starts. You decide how far you’ll travel around Uttoxeter and the wider Staffordshire area.

PrimeCarers is an introductory platform offering ongoing self-employed opportunities, not a single post. Create a profile, complete checks and then review client requests — you only accept the work you want. If you’d like to learn more or start your profile, it only takes minutes to apply and often just a few days to be matched with local families.
