Description

Looking for reliable respite work in Harts Green that fits around your life? PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with local families who need short-term and weekend cover — from a few hours of evening relief to a couple of days of daytime support. You’ll be offering practical, compassionate respite that gives family carers a proper break while keeping continuity of care for the person they support. Right now, 27 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Work typically includes companionship, personal care, medication prompting, short-term mobility support and household tasks that help someone stay safe and comfortable while their family takes a break. Most assignments in Harts Green are for planned weekend cover or block respite across a few days, so you can plan ahead and keep other commitments in the week. Roles suit experienced carers who want control over when and where they work, and who value working closely with families rather than through rota-driven agency shifts.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area. PrimeCarers finds families for you, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you are working. Typical work in this area pays in the range £18.50–£20 per hour but you decide your own fee for each booking.

We’re looking for carers who have at least one year of professional care experience, verifiable references, the right to work in the UK and an Enhanced DBS check.

  • Typical tasks: companionship, personal care, medication prompting, meal support, short transfers and helping families with household routines during respite.
