Respite Carer Jobs in Chepstow

Respite care in Chepstow gives family carers a vital break — from a couple of hours to a few days at a time. On PrimeCarers you’ll provide short-term and weekend cover, supporting people in their own homes across Chepstow and surrounding parts of Gloucestershire. Right now, 7 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

The work is varied: sitting, companionship, personal care, medication prompts, moving and handling where trained, and overnight presence for families who need peace of mind. Shifts can be a few hours on a weekend afternoon, regular evening cover, or short live-in blocks when a carer needs longer rest. Many carers choose to specialise in respite because it suits a flexible life and gives quick, meaningful change for families in Chepstow.

This role suits experienced carers who want more control than agency life usually allows. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates, choose their clients, hours and service area. Typical pay sits around £18.80–£23 per hour depending on your skills and what you choose to charge. If you prefer hourly or live-in work, you can consider the usual ranges £18.80–£23 per hour and £145–£160 per day when setting your profile.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. We’ll ask for evidence during verification so profiles can go live quickly. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

PrimeCarers finds families looking for respite in Chepstow and nearby areas such as Caldicot, Thornbury, Woodhouse Park, Lydney, Patchway and Bradley Stoke. We handle client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. That means you can focus on the care while we look after the admin. Many carers switch from agencies because they want clearer pay, better control over hours and the ability to build ongoing arrangements with local families.
