Respite care on PrimeCarers suits experienced carers who value flexibility and privacy. You choose the clients you want to work with, the hours you accept and the area you cover. Many carers pick up weekend shifts, bank holiday cover or a couple of evening calls each month to top up their income and keep a better work-life balance. Typical pay sits in the range £18.89–£21.10 per hour, and because you’re self-employed you set the exact rate for each booking.

The kind of work you’ll do includes companionship, support with personal care, medication prompting, light meal preparation and providing family carers with a safe break.
