Description
Looking for flexible respite work in Buckley that fits around family life or other commitments? On PrimeCarers you’ll provide short-term and weekend cover to give family carers a break — from a few hours to a few days — while staying fully in control of who you work for and when you work. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working.

Respite roles vary: some families need a few hours’ help at weekends, others want evening support after a hospital stay, or cover for a couple of days while a carer takes a short break.

Many of our carers set their own rate and choose the work that suits them; typical pay for this type of role is £18.80–£23.10 per hour.
As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you choose your clients, hours and service area — whether you prefer nearby streets in Buckley or travel to places such as Ewole, Hawarden, Mold, Shotton, Connahs Quay and Flint.
