Description

Are you an experienced carer in Frodsham wanting more control over your weekends and short-term work? We connect self‑employed carers with families needing respite cover — from a few hours of support on a Saturday night to several days’ relief so family carers can rest, travel or manage an emergency. Respite roles often include companionship, practical support with personal care and medication prompts, and household help to keep someone safe and comfortable.

Right now, 12 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

PrimeCarers suits people who want to move away from agency rota work while staying independent. You choose which clients you work with, the hours you accept and your service area around Frodsham and nearby towns like Runcorn, Widnes, Halewood, Ellesmere Port, Rainhill and Whiston. Carers set their own rates and can expect typical pay of £18.50–£20.20 per hour, plus the freedom to take short weekend jobs or longer respite stays.

When you join PrimeCarers we find families seeking short-term, reliable cover and we handle contracts, invoicing and payments on your behalf. Insurance is included for the time you work with a client through the platform, so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.
