Description
We’re looking for experienced carers to provide short‑term and weekend respite support to families across Chipping Sodbury. Respite work can be a few hours of evening cover, a full weekend to give a family carer a break, or a couple of days of overnight support — whatever suits you and the family. Right now, 6 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
As a respite carer you’ll offer helpful, reliable support: companionship, assistance with personal care, medication prompts, mealtime help and light domestic tasks while the family takes a break. Shifts vary — from afternoon and evening stints to weekend packages or short live‑in stays — and many families in South Gloucestershire prefer carers who bring calm, practical experience.
This role suits carers who already have at least one year of professional care experience and want more control than traditional agency work allows. On PrimeCarers you’re self‑employed: you set your own rates and choose the clients, hours and service area you accept. Typical rates are £19–£25 per hour. You can also see £19–£25 per hour for hourly care or £145–£161 per day for live‑in day rates when completing your profile.
PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance for the time you’re working. That means less admin for you and clearer, quicker payments. If you need help with checks, PrimeCarers can assist you to arrange an Enhanced DBS. To join you’ll need the right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
Many carers join because they want more predictable weekends, better work‑life balance, and the chance to build ongoing relationships with families rather than shifting between short shifts. You’ll be able to accept bookings in and around Chipping Sodbury and nearby areas like Yate, Wickwar, Bradley Stoke, Wotton under Edge, Kingswood and Woodhouse Park as suits you.
Applying only takes minutes. Create your profile, upload your documents and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days. If you’re ready to move away from agency routines and take control of your respite work in Chipping Sodbury, start your PrimeCarers profile and be available for local families who need dependable short‑term support.
