Respite Carer Jobs in Cullen

Looking for flexible respite work in Cullen? PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers directly with families who need short-term and weekend cover — from a few hours to a few days — to give family carers a break. Work across Cullen and the surrounding area, including Portsoy, Buckie, Banff, Keith, Banff and Macduff and Macduff. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

Respite cover varies. You might support an older person for an evening so their family can go out, provide full weekend care while relatives take a short trip, or step in for a few days during a planned hospital stay. The work is practical and relationship-led: companionship, personal care, medication prompts and household support as agreed with each family. Most roles are local to Cullen and the Moray area and suit experienced, reliable carers who prefer short-term assignments rather than long block placements.

Pay and flexibility are yours to control. Typical rates for this kind of work are £15–£25 per hour. Hourly care commonly falls in £15–£25 per hour and live-in day rates are often around £145–£165 per day. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates, choose the clients you work with and decide the hours and service area that suit you.
