Respite work gives family carers a break and can include daytime, evening or overnight shifts depending on what the family needs. Right now, 221 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Respite shifts through PrimeCarers suit experienced, professional carers who value control. You'll do hands-on personal care, companionship, help with mobility, medication prompting and household support around the house or on short outings. Many carers balance a few hours on Saturdays and Sundays with weekday commitments, or take longer blocks when families need a couple of days of cover. Work often comes from households in Battersea Park and the surrounding area, including Nine Elms, Battersea, Pimlico, Clapham, Stockwell and Chelsea.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical pay for this kind of work is £18.80–£20 per hour depending on the care required and your experience. PrimeCarers introduces you to families, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work — so you can focus on care, not paperwork. That administrative support is especially helpful if you’re moving away from agency routines and want a simpler way to take private bookings in Battersea Park and Wandsworth.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You’ll create a profile, upload your documents and pick the kinds of shifts you want to be considered for. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification, and you remain in control of which families you accept work from.

This isn’t a single advertised role — it’s an ongoing way to find short-term and weekend respite work in Battersea Park and nearby neighbourhoods. If you’re experienced, reliable and want to keep the flexibility of self-employment while avoiding the admin of private contracting, PrimeCarers gives you the platform to do that.
