Description
If you’re an experienced carer looking for short‑term and weekend respite work in Enfield Lock, PrimeCarers connects you directly with local families who need cover from a few hours to a few days. You’ll work as a self‑employed carer, choose your clients, set your own hours and decide the area you cover.
Right now, 193 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Respite roles vary: evening and weekend sits, daytime breaks for family carers, overnight short‑term cover and occasional multi‑day respite. Work may include support with personal care, medication prompts, companionship, meal preparation and mobility assistance — the tasks you know well from your professional experience. Opportunities are ongoing across Enfield Lock and nearby areas, so you can pick shifts that suit your life and commitments.
Pay and flexibility matter. On PrimeCarers you set your own rates and see the typical range when you create your profile: £18.80–£20 per hour. You decide how many hours you accept, whether you do weekend or live‑in short stays, and how far you’ll travel. Many carers find this freedom a better fit than agency rounds because they control the work they take on.
To join you’ll need at least one 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 handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work, so you can focus on caring rather than admin.
We cover Enfield Lock and surrounding communities — whether you want to work close to home or across the borough. If you are used to agency shifts and are ready to take more control of your work and income, PrimeCarers makes the switch straightforward.
Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. You’ll stay self‑employed, pick the clients you want and manage your own diary.
