Respite Carer Jobs in Dulverton

Looking for flexible, local respite work in and around Dulverton? PrimeCarers connects experienced self-employed carers with families needing short-term cover — from a few hours of weekend support to a few days of relief for a family carer. You’ll provide companionship, personal care and household support as agreed with each family, helping loved ones stay safe and comfortable while the main carer takes a break. There is 1 family currently looking for care in the wider area.

Respite assignments vary: evening and weekend sittings, day visits for shopping and outings, overnight checks or a few days of full-time cover. Many families want someone they can trust for occasional cover, and that means reliable, kind professionals who know what good care looks like. If you’ve worked in domiciliary care, nursing homes or private care and prefer working directly with families, this could suit you.

You’ll be entirely self-employed. That means you set your own rates, choose which clients to accept, and decide your service area and hours. Typical rates for this kind of work are in the range £19–£21 per hour. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. You remain in control — take the bookings you want and build ongoing relationships with families across Dulverton and the surrounding area including Tiverton, Wiveliscombe, Minehead, South Molton, Watchet and Cullompton.

This work suits experienced carers who value flexibility. It’s a good fit if you want weekend shifts, extra weekday hours, or occasional multi-day cover without the restrictions of agency rotas. Many carers who switch to PrimeCarers appreciate the clearer relationship with families and the ability to shape their working week around family life.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this if needed), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We’ll guide you through a simple verification process so your profile can go live quickly — applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
