Description
Looking for weekend and short‑term respite work around Hartland? PrimeCarers connects self‑employed carers with families who need cover from a few hours to a few days — weekend breaks, holiday cover or ad‑hoc daytime respite. You’ll provide practical support, companionship and peace of mind so family carers can take a real break. There is 1 family currently looking for care in the wider area.
Work typically involves personal care, medication prompting, meal preparation, companionship and supporting household routines. Many shifts are in private homes across Hartland and the surrounding area, including Stratton, Bude, Bideford, Northam, Holsworthy and Great Torrington, and occasionally further into Devon for live‑in or day cover. This role suits experienced carers who value flexibility and prefer working one‑to‑one rather than through a rota‑driven agency.
As a PrimeCarers carer you’re self‑employed: you set your own rates, choose which clients to accept and control your hours and service area. Typical pay falls in the range £15–£25 per hour. PrimeCarers finds client matches, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working with a family — so you can focus on care, not paperwork.
