Respite Carer Jobs in Greet

Respite care in Greet gives family carers a reliable break — from a couple of hours to a few days. You’ll provide companionship, personal care and household support while families recharge, and often cover weekend or short-notice needs across the village and surrounding areas. Right now, 7 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This work suits experienced, compassionate carers who prefer variety and control. Tasks usually include support with mobility, meal preparation, medication prompting, personal care and simple companionship. Many families are looking for weekend cover or a few hours in the evenings; others need short stays of a day or two when they take a short break themselves. You’ll meet people in private homes across Greet and the wider Gloucestershire patch including Winchcombe, Cheltenham, Tewkesbury, Evesham, Chipping Campden and Stow on the Wold.

Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates. You can expect roles that fall within £18.80–£25 per hour, with typical hourly and live-in ranges shown as £18.80–£25 per hour and £148–£163.50 per day respectively. You choose your own clients, hours and service area, so you control when and how much you work.

PrimeCarers finds carers clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while they work. That means you can focus on care, not paperwork. If you’re used to agency rota-shifts but want more say over the work you accept, PrimeCarers makes the switch straightforward while keeping professional protections in place.

To join you’ll need at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. We check these quickly so you can get started. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification.

If you live in or near Greet and prefer short-term, flexible respite work rather than long-term live-ins, this could be a good fit. Many carers choose a mix of daytime and weekend shifts to fit family or other commitments, while others take on regular weekend bookings for steady income and predictable planning.
