Weekend Carer Jobs in Witney

Looking for weekend or short‑term respite work in Witney? This work is about giving family carers a trusted break — from a few hours in the evening to a couple of days of cover. You’ll be supporting people at home with personal care, companionship, medication prompts and light household tasks while their family take a rest. Right now, 6 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Work is based around the Witney area and neighbouring towns such as Carterton, Bampton, Charlbury, Burford, Woodstock and Faringdon. Roles often suit experienced carers who want a change from agency routines: if you value predictable short shifts, clear handovers and the chance to build steady, respectful relationships with families, this could fit. Much of the work takes place at weekends or short blocks when family carers need time off, so reliability and good communication are essential. You'll find opportunities across Oxfordshire as well as locally in Witney.

How it works

• Self‑employed. You set your own rate and choose the clients and hours that suit you. Typical rates sit around £19.20–£23 per hour.
• Flexible time. Offer anything from an evening shift to weekend stays; you accept the bookings you want.
• Administrative support. PrimeCarers finds the families, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work.

Who this suits

• Carers with at least one year’s professional experience who are comfortable working alone in people's homes.
• People who prefer short, concentrated periods of care and enjoy supporting family carers by providing dependable respite.
• Those ready to manage their own client list, hours and local service area across Witney and nearby towns.

Requirements to join

• At least 1 year of professional care experience.
• An Enhanced DBS check — PrimeCarers can help arrange this if needed.
• The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once live, you can begin viewing requests for short‑term and weekend respite care and accept the ones that fit your availability.
