Respite Carer Jobs in Kingswood

If you’re an experienced carer in Kingswood looking for flexible, short-term respite work that fits around family life or other commitments, PrimeCarers could be the change you need. We introduce self-employed carers directly to families needing weekend cover, a few hours of support or longer short-term breaks — you pick the jobs that suit you and set your own terms.

Right now, 13 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Respite roles vary: some shifts are a few hours in the evening or at weekends, others are a couple of days to give a family carer a proper break. You’ll provide companionship, personal care, medication prompting, mobility support and light household tasks when needed — always matching the support to what the family requests. Work in Kingswood often includes occasional visits across South Gloucestershire, and we also connect carers with families in nearby towns such as Keynsham, Filton, Bradley Stoke, Patchway, Yate and Chipping Sodbury.

This work suits someone with at least a year’s professional care experience who values variety and autonomy. Many carers joining PrimeCarers have left agency work because they wanted to choose their clients, set their own hours and be paid fairly for the work they do. As a self-employed carer through PrimeCarers you set your own rates (many carers charge in the range £19–£24 per hour) and decide how far you’ll travel.

Pay formats you may see: hourly care is typically in the range £19–£24 per hour, and live-in day rates often fall between £145–£160 per day. PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you’re working on a booking — so you keep the control without the paperwork.

To join we ask that you have at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. You must be self-employed to use the platform. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can start choosing respite work in Kingswood quickly.
