If you want to work locally, cover weekend shifts and offer compassionate, practical care, this is the kind of work we connect you with. Right now, 11 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Respite work can include companionship, personal care, medication prompts, meal support, light household tasks and overnight checks — often in clients' own homes. Shifts vary: some families need a few daytime hours on Saturdays, others want a night or a full weekend stay for urgent rest. You choose the kind of short-term or live-in respite you offer and the areas you serve around Dawley and nearby towns like Telford, Madeley, Oakengates, Broseley, Shifnal and Much Wenlock in Telford and Wrekin.

This role suits experienced carers who value flexibility. Many carers join PrimeCarers to escape the rigid rota and commission structure of agencies and to set their own professional terms. As a self-employed carer you set your own rates and working pattern; typical rates for these shifts are £18.80–£20 per hour. You pick clients that fit your skills, say which days you’ll cover, and accept only the bookings that suit you.

PrimeCarers makes the admin straightforward. We find families, handle contracts, invoices and client payments, and we include insurance while you are on a booked shift. Applying takes minutes and profiles normally go live within days of verification, so you could be taking weekend respite bookings from local families quickly.

To join you must have at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
