Respite Carer Jobs in Doe Bank

Do you provide calm, confident short-term care and want to work flexibly in Doe Bank and the surrounding area? Respite care on PrimeCarers is about covering family carers for a few hours, an overnight or a few days at a time — weekend support, short-term breaks and planned cover that helps families stay together. Right now, 23 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you choose the work you take: the families you visit, the hours you do and the service area you cover in Doe Bank and nearby towns such as Four Oaks, Mere Green, Tudor Hill, Sutton Coldfield, Hill Hook and Driffold. You set your own rates and normally see £18.80–£20 per hour for this type of work; both hourly and live-in arrangements are common, typically within £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly care and £146–£161.50 per day for live-in days.

Respite work suits carers who enjoy a changing routine and want to give family carers a reliable break — it fits well if you prefer short shifts, weekend work or flexible bookings rather than long-term, fixed placements. Typical duties include supporting personal care, companionship, medication prompting, safe mobility and household tasks while family carers rest, run errands or take a short break.

What we ask

• At least 1 year of professional care experience.
