Description
If you’re an experienced carer looking to work weekends or provide short-term respite in Bexley Village, PrimeCarers connects you directly with local families who need cover — from a few hours to a few days. You’ll be working as self‑employed, choosing the clients, hours and the area you serve in and around Bexley Village. Right now, 174 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Respite work is practical and varied: helping a family carer take a break, supporting someone with personal care, medication prompts, companionship, light household tasks and keeping routines steady while a loved one is away. Weekend and short-stay respite suits carers who prefer concentrated shifts, flexible start times or occasional live‑in cover. We frequently have requests across Bexley Village and nearby areas including North Cray, Bexleyheath, Bexley New Town, Blendon, Crayford and Old Bexley.
Pay and flexibility are central to this role. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates; typical roles fall in the range £18.80–£20 per hour. Many carers use £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live‑in day rates as a guide when setting prices. You decide which requests to accept and how much you charge.
PrimeCarers handles the admin so you can focus on care. We introduce you to families, manage client contracts, handle invoicing and collect payments on your behalf, and cover insurance while you’re working. That paperwork and protection makes it easier to be self‑employed without taking on extra admin.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We’ll ask for documentation during verification; applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days once checks are complete. This site advertises ongoing self‑employed opportunities across Bexley Village — not a single role — so you can pick the work that fits your life.
If you’re tired of rigid rotas and want to keep delivering quality care at times that suit you, PrimeCarers offers the structure and local introductions while leaving you in control.
