If you want more control over who you work with, when you work and how you charge, this could be a better fit than agency life. Right now, 2 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Respite work here often involves sitting visits, companionship, personal care, medication prompting and short stays that give family carers a reliable break. Roles suit skilled carers who enjoy building trusting relationships, are comfortable working in people’s homes across Chipping Campden and nearby towns such as Moreton in Marsh, Shipston on Stour, Evesham, Stow on the Wold, Greet and Winchcombe, and who can respond on weekends or at short notice.

As a PrimeCarers carer you are self-employed: you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical rates for respite cover fall in the range £19–£25 per hour. You can list your preferred hourly and live-in figures on your profile (for reference: £19–£25 per hour for hourly care, £145.50–£161.50 per day for live-in days). PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work — so you can focus on delivering care rather than paperwork.

We work with carers who have at least 1 year of professional care experience and can provide verifiable references. An Enhanced DBS check is required (PrimeCarers can help arrange this if needed), and you must have the right to work in the UK. We verify references and checks before your profile goes live.

Applying takes minutes online. Once you submit the essentials and we verify your documents and references, profiles typically go live within days — so you can start being contacted by families in Chipping Campden quickly. You remain in control: accept only the bookings that fit your availability and boundaries, and choose the distance you’re willing to travel around Gloucestershire.
