Description
Looking for short-term respite work across Castelnau and the wider Hammersmith and Fulham area? PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families who need weekend and short-stay cover — from a couple of hours to a few days. You pick the clients you want, the hours you work and the areas you serve, giving family carers a reliable break while you keep control of your timetable.
Right now, 227 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Respite roles on PrimeCarers include sitting and companionship, personal care, prompting medication, overnight stays and short live-in periods when families need a break. Work is offered by individual households rather than institutions, so the focus is on building trust quickly, practical support and being a calm presence. Shifts vary: many carers cover single weekends, regular fortnightly weekends or occasional short blocks — the choice is yours.
Pay is set by you and typically falls within £18.80–£20.10 per hour depending on the family’s needs, the hours and any specialist care required. PrimeCarers handles contracts, invoicing and payments for each booking, and insurance is included while you work. Many carers find the combination of top-up pay and flexible hours a much better fit than agency rotas.
This work suits experienced carers who want to move away from rigid rotas but keep doing hands-on, meaningful care in the community. You’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), and verifiable references. If you already have an Enhanced DBS and up-to-date references, you can be matched faster.
- Who we need: caring, reliable people used to supporting adults in their own homes.
- What you choose: clients, hours and how far you’ll travel around Castelnau and nearby areas like Sands End, Parsons Green, Battersea, Fulham, West Brompton and Chelsea.
