Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates, choosing the clients, hours and service area that suit them. Many carers use PrimeCarers to pick up regular weekend shifts or occasional short blocks of cover alongside other work. You’ll find opportunities in Lea Hall and nearby Kents Moat, Tile Cross, Stechford, Lyndon Green, Yardley and Shard End and across the wider West Midlands.

Typical pay sits within £18.50–£20 per hour and you decide the terms for each booking. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments on your behalf, and provides insurance while you work so you can focus on care. This platform is built for people who want more control than agency work — flexible choices without the admin.

This kind of respite work suits carers who have at least a year’s professional experience, can provide verifiable references, and hold the right to work in the UK. An Enhanced DBS check is required; PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you need support. You’ll be expected to agree care tasks with families and to work respectfully with existing care plans.

Shifts vary from a couple of hours to overnight or a few days. You choose which requests to accept, so you can plan weekend availability around family life or other commitments. Many carers balance PrimeCarers respite bookings with domiciliary shifts, freelance hours or study — the platform is designed to fit around your life, not the other way round.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload references and your DBS, and PrimeCarers verifies your details; profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once live, you’ll be able to see and accept respite requests in Lea Hall and the surrounding areas.
