This work suits experienced, reliable carers who want the freedom to plan their own weeks. If you’re used to agency rotas but want control over which families you support and when, respite cover is a direct way to keep doing meaningful care on your own terms. To join you’ll need at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work so you can focus on care, not admin.

Applying takes minutes and setting your rates and availability is straightforward. Profiles typically go live within days of verification. Because carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed you set your own rates, choose clients, hours and service area — that flexibility is built in. We pair carers with families seeking respite, manage the paperwork and make payments, leaving you to choose the bookings you want in Eastleigh and across Hampshire.

This page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than a single role. If you’re ready to reduce agency hours, take more control and offer respite cover that fits your life, create a profile and start receiving enquiries. The sign-up is quick and you can be visible to local families within days, ready to offer exactly the short-term support they need while giving family carers a real break.
