Respite roles through PrimeCarers are varied. Typical work includes companionship, medication prompts, personal care, transfers and supporting family carers by providing breaks. Shifts can be a couple of hours to overnight stays or short live-in periods; the focus on this page is weekend and short-term cover so if you prefer evening or weekend work in Broxburn or nearby areas you’ll find suitable matches here. Many families are looking for reliable, experienced carers who can step in with minimal notice.

This opportunity suits carers who value independence and want to move away from agency rota systems. If you have 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 can apply. PrimeCarers handles contracts, invoicing and payments on your behalf, and provides insurance while you work — removing much of the admin burden so you can focus on caring.

Carers set their own rates, choose which clients to accept and decide their own service area. Whether you want to cover weekends in Broxburn only or extend into surrounding towns like East Calder, Livingston, Queensferry, Linlithgow, North Queensferry and Vauxhall, you remain in control. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can be available for bookings quickly.

How to get started: create a short profile that highlights your experience with respite and short-term care, upload your references and DBS, and indicate the hours and days you prefer. PrimeCarers will then match you with families seeking weekend cover and manage bookings and payments. Profiles remain active for ongoing opportunities rather than a single placement, which is ideal if you want a steady stream of weekend or short-term work around Broxburn and across West Lothian.

If you’re ready to keep your independence, set your own terms and provide meaningful respite to local families, PrimeCarers makes the process straightforward. Apply in minutes and take control of the hours you work while offering vital support to carers who need a break.
