Respite Carer Jobs in Honiton

Respite care in Honiton gives family carers the short break they need — from a couple of hours to overnight or a few days. On PrimeCarers you’ll meet families in Honiton and nearby who need trusted, experienced support for people with dementia, physical disabilities, long-term conditions or recovery needs.

Typical respite work ranges from daytime shifts and evening sits to weekend cover and multi-day stays. You’ll be supporting daily living tasks, companionship, medication prompts and mobility assistance as agreed with each family. All assignments are short-term or ad-hoc cover designed to relieve a family carer, not long-term placements — that means variety and flexibility in your diary.

As a PrimeCarers carer you are self-employed: you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and the area you’ll work in. Many carers on the platform set rates within £20–£25 per hour depending on experience and the level of care required. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working on a booking.

This kind of role suits skilled, reliable carers who want to move away from agency rota pressure but keep steady work nearby. If you live in Honiton or travel from places like Ottery St Mary, Colyton, Seaton, Axminster, Sidmouth and Cullompton, you can pick the bookings that fit your life and family. You might prefer short evening sits, weekend block bookings or occasional live-in cover — all options are available to discuss with families.
