Respite Carer Jobs in Daventry

Respite care in Daventry means short-term and weekend cover that gives family carers a real break — from a few hours to a few days. You’ll support people in their homes with personal care, companionship, medication prompting and short-term moves or transfers, often at evenings or across weekends. Work is varied, warm and practical; you’ll often be helping the same families on a flexible, planned basis around their needs and yours.

Right now, 7 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This work suits experienced carers who want to move away from agency rostering and keep control. On PrimeCarers you remain self-employed: you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Typical pay sits around £18.80–£20 per hour depending on the role and whether it’s hourly or live‑in. Many carers use the platform to offer short visits, weekend blocks or longer respite spells — typical hourly roles fall in £18.80–£20 per hour and live‑in days are in the range £145–£160 per day.

PrimeCarers finds clients for you, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work. That means less paperwork and more time with the people you care for across Daventry and neighbouring areas like Rugby, Southam, Northampton, Towcester, Grange Park and Lutterworth. Profiles take minutes to set up and usually go live within days of verification, so you can be matched to local families quickly.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We’re not advertising a single placement here but ongoing self-employed opportunities across Daventry and the wider Northamptonshire patch — ideal if you want predictable, repeat respite work without agency rotas.

Expect to work with people who need reliable, compassionate short-term support: people recovering from hospital stays, families needing weekend cover, or carers on holiday who need trusted cover. You’ll often be asked to assist with personal care, mealtimes, mobility support and companionship. The length and pattern of work is chosen by you and the family you agree to support.

If you’re an experienced carer ready for more control and clearer admin support, apply through PrimeCarers — it takes minutes to create your profile and usually only days to go live. You’ll join other self-employed carers working in Daventry who prefer flexible, meaningful respite work on their own terms.
