Respite shifts can include personal care, medication prompting, companionship, meal support and short-term night cover for people in their own homes. Most families look for reliable, experienced carers who can step in for weekends, school holidays or occasional weekday breaks. Work is varied and often close to home: many carers cover Carterton and nearby towns such as Bampton, Burford, Witney, Lechlade, Faringdon and Fairford in Oxfordshire.

This role suits experienced carers who value flexibility. On PrimeCarers you are self-employed: you set your own rates, choose which clients to work with, and decide your hours and service area. You’ll see the typical range families expect for this kind of work and can set rates within £19.20–£22.80 per hour. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work.

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 recruit for one fixed post — this page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities in the Carterton area. Once you apply it takes minutes to create a profile and, after verification, most profiles go live within days.

If you currently work for an agency and are thinking about a change, PrimeCarers gives more control over whom you work for and when, while keeping the admin simple. You decide whether to accept weekend bookings, short stays or longer respite blocks; families contact you directly through the platform once your profile is live.
