Respite work suits experienced carers who want flexibility: evening or weekend cover, last-minute bookings, or planned short stays so a family member can recharge or travel. Many carers split their time between regular clients in Bulls Cross and occasional cover across Enfield. You can accept single shifts or back-to-back short stays depending on your availability and preference.

As a PrimeCarers self-employed carer you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical rates for this kind of work are shown as £18.80–£20 per hour, with further breakdowns available as £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for longer live-in days.

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 do not post one-off vacancies here — these are ongoing self-employed opportunities open to qualified carers who want to move away from agency rotas and take more control.

Typical tasks include safe transfers, helping with personal care, preparing light meals, supporting mobility and offering companionship.

You can specialise in dementia respite, short-term post-hospital support or general overnight stays; choose the work that suits your skills.
