Respite care is about giving family carers a reliable break. In Doune this often means stepping in for a couple of hours an evening, covering a weekend away, or staying for a few days when family members need a rest. The role suits experienced, practical carers who can provide companionship, personal care, medication prompts and household support with kindness and discretion. You’ll be supporting people in their own homes — allowing families to recharge with confidence.

Pay and flexibility are in your hands: carers set their own rates and can accept work that fits their schedule and travel limits. Typical pay lies around £18.80–£19.20 per hour and you decide whether to offer short visits, day shifts or live‑in arrangements. PrimeCarers finds clients and handles the paperwork so you can focus on care, not chasing invoices.

Requirements to join
