Description
We’re looking for experienced carers in Beeston to provide short-term respite cover for families who need a break. These weekend and short-stay roles range from a few hours of evening support to cover over a day or a couple of days, giving family carers time to rest, run essential errands or take a break. Right now, 4 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
As a carer on PrimeCarers you work as a self-employed professional: you set your own rates, choose the clients you want to work with, and decide the hours and service area. Many carers use this to supplement existing work or to switch away from agency rotas while keeping control over their work-life balance. You’ll be supporting people with personal care, medication prompts, companionship and short-term mobility support — always matching to the family’s needs and any agreed care plan.
Typical roles suit carers who are confident working alone, can provide compassionate companionship, and can be flexible with weekend and short-notice bookings. Work is commonly within Beeston and the wider Nottinghamshire area, often covering nearby towns such as Stapleford, Long Eaton, Sandiacre, West Bridgefield, Ilkeston and Bulwell. Shifts vary: evening turnarounds, daytime relief or live-in short stays; you choose what fits your diary.
Pay and practicalities: carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates, with typical rates shown as £18.80–£20.70 per hour. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working. There’s no employer role — you operate as a self-employed carer and invoice through the platform.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one if needed), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. Applications take minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can start seeing suitable bookings quickly.
If you’re ready for more control over the shifts you take, want to focus on respite work at weekends, and value straightforward admin and cover for insurance and payments, PrimeCarers makes the move simple. Create your profile, list the hours and areas you serve in Beeston, and start choosing clients who match the way you like to work.
