Work typically involves giving family carers time off: helping with personal care, household tasks, short outings, or staying overnight so family members can rest. This role suits people who enjoy flexible, person-centred care and who want to make a real difference during short bursts of support. Many carers working through PrimeCarers prefer respite shifts because they offer variety without long-term commitments and let you focus on quality time with the person you’re supporting.

Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates; typical pay sits around £15–£25 per hour depending on the shift and duties. You choose your clients, hours and the area you cover — whether you stay in Campbeltown or travel to nearby towns such as Ballycastle, Saltcoats, Rothesay, Maybole, Troon and Ayr. PrimeCarers finds the enquiries, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working, so you can concentrate on care.

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. The sign-up process takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. You remain in control: review enquiries and only accept work that fits your availability and boundaries.

We’re not advertising one role but ongoing self-employed opportunities across Campbeltown and the surrounding area for carers who want weekend and short-break work. If you’re used to agency shifts but want more control over your time and pay, PrimeCarers offers a simple alternative: flexible respite work, administrative support from the platform, and cover for insurance while you’re on a booking.

Applying is quick. Create a profile, upload your Enhanced DBS and references (or let us help with checks), and once verified you’ll be able to respond to local enquiries. Many carers start accepting weekend respite work in days — all while staying self-employed and setting their own terms.
