Respite Carer Jobs in Frognal

If you’re an experienced carer looking to move away from agency rotas, Frognal families need short-term and weekend respite cover — from a few hours to a few days. Respite work suits carers who enjoy focused, person-centred shifts: companionship, personal care, medication prompts, and practical support that gives family carers a real break.

Right now, 230 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers directly with families across Frognal and nearby areas including Hamstead, Hampstead, West Hampstead, Belsize Park, Childs Hill and Swiss Cottage. You set your own hours, choose the clients you want to work with and set your rate. Many carers offer weekend relief, overnight support for short stays, or block-booked daytime cover for family breaks. Typical rates for this kind of work are around £18.80–£20 per hour, and you control how you price each booking.

Respite shifts vary. You might spend a few hours providing companionship and outings, manage personal care and medication for a single weekend, or offer split-day cover while a family member rests. Shifts often focus on emotional support and maintaining routines, with occasional manual handling or mobility assistance depending on the client. You’ll be matched to families whose needs fit your skills so you’re not working outside your experience.

This role is well suited to carers who value autonomy and steady, local work. If you currently work for an agency and want fewer late changes to your rota, or if you’re self-employed and want easier admin, PrimeCarers reduces the paperwork so you can focus on care. We handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you work. You remain self-employed and decide which bookings to accept.

To join we ask for at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once approved you’ll be able to browse local short-term respite requests in Frognal and neighbouring Camden areas and accept the ones that match your availability.
