Description
Make a real difference to families in Hingham by offering weekend and short-term respite care. These roles cover anything from a few hours of evening relief to a couple of days’ short-term cover, giving family carers the break they need. You’ll work as a self-employed carer, choosing the shifts and clients that suit you, and you can set your own rate within £19–£22.50 per hour. Right now, 5 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Typical respite work includes companionship, personal care, medication prompts, meal support and light household tasks while relatives rest. You’ll visit people in their homes across Hingham and nearby Attleborough, Wymondham, Watton, Dereham, Swaffham and Norwich, and occasionally provide longer weekend stays for families who need overnight or live-in style cover. This kind of work suits experienced carers who value variety, short bookings and direct, trusting relationships with families.
PrimeCarers looks after the admin so you can focus on care. We find clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re on a booked shift. You remain self-employed: you choose your clients, your service area and the hours you’ll accept. Typical hourly and live-in ranges are shown on the platform: £19–£22.50 per hour and £145–£160 per day respectively, and many carers use those as a starting point when setting their own fees.
We’re looking for carers with at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. If you’ve been doing agency rounds in Norfolk and want more control over your work, this is a straightforward way to move to self-employment without taking on all the paperwork alone.
Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, add your experience and references, and PrimeCarers verifies your details — profiles typically go live within days. Once live, families can contact you directly and you decide which requests to accept. You remain free to combine PrimeCarers work with other shifts or personal commitments.
