Respite clients need steady, reliable support: companionship, medication prompting, personal care, meal support and help getting out and about. Shifts can be a single evening, a full weekend or several days of live-in assistance. These opportunities are ideal if you prefer short-term bookings you can accept or decline, or if you want to build a local patch of regular families in Lee Bank and the surrounding area.

Pay and working style are straightforward. On PrimeCarers you work as self-employed, set your own rates and choose the hours and service area you cover. Typical roles range £18.50–£20 per hour; many carers advertise within £18.50–£20 per hour for hourly care and £144.50–£160 per day for day-rate live-in work. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you’re working.

This is right for you if you have at least one year’s professional care experience, can show verifiable references, and have the right to work in the UK. You’ll also need an Enhanced DBS check — PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you don’t already have one. Other essentials:

• Minimum experience: 1 year in a relevant care role.
