Description

If you’re an experienced carer in Bloxwich looking for flexible weekend and short-term work, PrimeCarers connects you directly with families who need respite cover. The focus here is practical: helping family carers get a break for a few hours, an overnight or a few days of cover. You’ll be offering companionship, personal care, medication prompting and light domestic support as asked by each family.

Right now, 25 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This kind of respite work suits carers who want variety and control. Many roles are evening or weekend cover, short blocks between shifts, or ad-hoc daytime breaks. You’ll be able to accept jobs that match your skills and energy: if you prefer a couple of hours in the morning or longer weekend stays, you choose. Work is based in Bloxwich and the surrounding area including Coal Pool, Pelsall, Short Heath, High Heath, Walsall and Willenhall, so you can pick clients close to home in the West Midlands.

Pay and flexibility are central to this model. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates, typically around £18.50–£20 per hour for this kind of work. You choose which clients to meet, what hours to accept and the service area you cover. PrimeCarers handles finding clients, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work, so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.

To join you 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 don’t invent requirements beyond that — honest, traceable experience and the legal right to work are what matters. If you already have an Enhanced DBS and references, the checks are faster.

Applying takes minutes and creating a profile is straightforward. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and then families can view your profile and invite you to meet. PrimeCarers supports the introduction and makes sure contracts and payments are handled professionally so bookings are clear and transparent.

If you’re tired of agency rotas and want to keep control of your hours while doing rewarding respite work in Bloxwich, this could be a good fit. You’ll be providing vital short-term support to family carers across the area, with flexibility to fit your life. Ready to set your own rates and choose the work that suits you?
