Weekend Carer Jobs in Winson Green

Looking for short-term respite work in Winson Green? PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families who need weekend and short-term cover — from a few hours to a few days. You pick the clients, the hours and the area you’ll accept, and we handle the admin so you can focus on care.

Right now, 25 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Respite cover can include companionship, support with personal care, medication prompts, meal support and sitting with someone so a family carer can take a break. Shifts are often weekend evenings, day visits or a few consecutive days when family carers need cover. This kind of work suits experienced carers who want the variety of short bookings and the flexibility to plan their own time around other commitments.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose which jobs to accept. Typical rates in the area fall in the range £18.50–£20 per hour. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoices and payments, and includes insurance while you work, so you get paid without having to chase paperwork.
