Weekend Carer Jobs in Warwick

We’re looking for experienced, self-employed carers in Warwick to provide respite and short-term cover for family carers — from a few hours overnight to a couple of days at a time. You’ll support people in their own homes with companionship, personal care, medication prompts and light domestic tasks while family carers take a break. Right now, 14 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Shifts are perfect for experienced carers who want weekend work, occasional midweek cover or short block bookings around other commitments. Work is local to Warwick and the surrounding communities in Warwickshire; you can choose how far you’ll travel and which clients you’ll accept. Typical tasks include help with washing and dressing, meal preparation, mobility support, companionship and following care plans provided by the family.

On PrimeCarers you’re self-employed: you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area, and keep control of your diary. We find clients, handle contracts, invoices and payments, and include insurance while you work. Many carers on the platform set rates in line with local demand and availability — a typical range is £18.50–£20 per hour — but you decide what to charge and which bookings to take.

This work suits carers who want more control than agency life offers: if you’ve got at least a year of professional care experience, reliable references and the right to work in the UK, you could be matching with families in Warwick, Royal Leamington Spa and nearby towns such as Austin Village, Royal Leamington Spa, Whitnash, Kenilworth, Stratford and Stratford upon Avon. You’ll need an Enhanced DBS check — we can help arrange one — and we’ll verify your references as part of signing up.

Applying takes minutes and your profile typically goes live within days of verification. You’re not signing up for a single role here — PrimeCarers advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities across Warwick and Warwickshire, letting you accept short-term weekend cover that fits your life. If you want respite care work that fits around family, studies or other shifts, this could be a straightforward way to keep care at the heart of what you do while taking back control of when and where you work.

To apply, create a profile, upload your documents and tell us about your experience. We’ll guide you through DBS and reference checks and start matching you with families looking for trusted short-term cover in Warwick and the surrounding area.
