Work in and around Amble and across nearby towns such as Alnwick, Ashington, Newbiggin by the Sea, Morpeth, Rothbury and Bedlington. You decide where you want to work; choose clients within your chosen service area and pick the hours that suit you. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and keep control of your diary. Typical rates are £15–£25 per hour.

This kind of respite work suits experienced carers who value flexibility and want to move away from agency schedules. Many carers come to PrimeCarers because they want steadier, short-term shifts at times that fit family life — weekend cover, occasional overnights or regular daytime breaks for family carers. Tasks are practical and relational: helping with personal care, meal preparation, companionship, light household tasks and relevant record-keeping.

PrimeCarers finds you clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working. That means less admin for you and prompt, secure payment for the hours you do.

To join you’ll need at least one year’s professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We do check these before profiles go live to protect families and carers alike. Applying takes minutes and most profiles are active within days of verification.
