Respite work here often involves companionship, personal care (help with washing, dressing and mobility), medication prompts, meal preparation and consistent, calm supervision for short periods. Some families ask for overnight support or live-in cover for a few days; others need reliable weekend or ad-hoc daytime help. All assignments are arranged as self-employed engagements — you choose which clients to accept and which hours to offer.
This setup suits experienced carers who want more control than agency rotas allow. If you’re used to agency or homecare work but want to pick shifts that fit your life, respite roles in Belgravia offer variety and regular short bookings. You set your own rates and availability; typical rates for this kind of work are £18.80–£20 per hour and many carers reference £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly roles or £145–£160 per day for live-in days when discussing pricing with families.
PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. That means you can focus on delivering high-quality care without administrative hassle. You remain fully self-employed: you set your rates, choose clients, and decide your service area, including neighbouring neighbourhoods such as Knightsbridge, Pimlico, Greenhill, Mayfair, St Jamess and Chelsea and central Westminster.
To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this) and verifiable references. We verify qualifications and references quickly so profiles typically go live within days once checks are complete. Applying takes only minutes.
