Respite Carer Jobs in Clitheroe

Join PrimeCarers as a self‑employed respite carer offering short-term and weekend cover for families in Clitheroe and the surrounding area. Respite shifts range from a few hours to a few days — helping family carers take a break, manage appointments or get away for a weekend. You’ll meet local families looking for trustworthy, experienced support across Clitheroe and nearby towns.

Right now, 10 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

What the work looks like: you may provide companionship, help with personal care, medication prompts, light household tasks or support on short trips out. Shifts are varied — evening sit-ins, daytime cover, weekend handovers and occasional overnight care when a family needs a full break. All roles are short-term or intermittent; this page advertises ongoing self‑employed opportunities rather than a single placement.

This role suits carers who want control and variety. If you’re an experienced carer used to agency work but want to choose your clients and hours, PrimeCarers lets you set your own rates and pick assignments that suit your life. Carers on PrimeCarers are self‑employed and set their own rates. You choose clients, hours and service area; many carers work across Clitheroe, Downham, Padiham, Great Harwood, Clayton le Moors, Brierfield and Nelson via the platform.

Pay and flexibility: typical rates for respite care are £18.80–£21 per hour. You can list an hourly rate within £18.80–£21 per hour or offer live‑in day rates within £145–£160 per day — all under your control. PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work, so you can focus on care not admin.

To join you’ll need:

• At least 1 year of professional care experience
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one)
• The right to work in the UK
• Verifiable references

Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once live you’ll see local requests and can accept only the bookings you want. If you’re based in Clitheroe and want flexible, short-term respite work across Lancashire and nearby areas, PrimeCarers gives you the tools to run your own care schedule while we handle client‑facing admin.
