Description
Do weekend respite and short-term cover in Grahame Park and give family carers a genuine break. These roles range from a few hours of evening or day support to cover across a weekend or short stays of a few days. Work suits experienced carers who want flexibility, meaningful contact and the chance to choose the people they support in and around Grahame Park and Enfield. Right now, 211 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Typical shifts involve personal care, companionship, medication prompting and supporting daily routines for adults and older people. You may be asked to help with mobility, light household tasks or simply provide company so a family carer can rest. This kind of respite work is ideal if you enjoy short, focused visits or concentrated weekend cover rather than long-term live-in roles in Grahame Park.
As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. Many carers on the platform charge within £18.80–£20.10 per hour, with flexibility depending on the care required and whether a shift is day, evening or overnight. PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work.
Who this suits: experienced carers ready to move away from agency rota pressure, people who need more control over when they work, and those who can travel across north Enfield to nearby areas such as Mill Hill, Colindale, Burnt Oak, The Hyde, Edgware and The Hale. You need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this) and verifiable references.
Applying takes minutes and your profile typically goes live within days of verification. You remain self-employed at all times — you pick the clients, decline any booking you don’t want and set your own availability. If you offer live-in respite or longer short-term stays, you can use £145–£160 per day as a guide; for hourly care see £18.80–£20.10 per hour.
How to apply: create a profile, upload your documentation and references, and select the areas around Grahame Park where you can work. We’ll review and verify your details, then introduce you to families seeking weekend and short-term respite. Many carers find weekend-only arrangements or regular short blocks that fit around other commitments in Grahame Park.
If you’re ready to trade agency shifts for clearer control and better work-life balance while helping families in Enfield and beyond, start your application — it only takes a few minutes.
