Respite work here covers help with personal care, companionship, medication prompts and weekend sitting while family carers take a break. Shifts vary: some families need a few hours on a Saturday morning, others ask for overnight support or a full weekend to recharge. You’ll be choosing work that fits your life and skills rather than taking whatever rota you’re given.

We expect experienced carers who want a more independent way of working. To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. PrimeCarers lists self-employed carers only — you set your own rates and your own hours, and you decide your service area around Garretts Green, including Kitts Green, Tile Cross, Fordbridge, Lyndon Green, Lea Hall and Kents Moat.

Typical pay for this kind of respite work is in the range £18.50–£20 per hour depending on duties and times. For clarity, you’ll see typical hourly and live-in figures listed on your dashboard: £18.50–£20 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live-in day rates. PrimeCarers handles client matching, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working on a booked shift.

This role suits carers who value autonomy — perhaps you’re tired of agency double-shifts, last-minute reassignments or unpredictable travel. With PrimeCarers you can build a steady portfolio of families who appreciate reliable weekend respite, plan your weekends ahead and keep control of your work/life balance in Garretts Green and across the West Midlands.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload your DBS and references, and most profiles go live within days of verification. Once live you can review client requests and accept only the shifts you want.
