Respite Carer Jobs in Loftus

If you’re an experienced carer in Loftus who wants more control and variety, respite work could be the change you’re after. Respite care means short-term and weekend cover so family carers can take a break — from a few hours to a few days — and you’ll be providing companionship, personal care, medication prompts and practical support during that time. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

We help connect self-employed carers with families across Loftus and the wider Redcar and Cleveland area. You choose your clients, the hours you accept and the area you’ll cover; many carers serve nearby communities such as Saltburn by the Sea, Skelton in Cleveland, Guisborough, Redcar, Eston and Whitby. Typical rates for respite care on PrimeCarers sit around £18.80–£20 per hour, with further detail available for different arrangements: £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live-in day rates.

This type of work suits carers who value flexibility and variety. If you’re thinking of moving away from agency rotas, respite lets you pick short blocks, weekend cover or multi-day stays that fit around your life. You’ll be helping family carers get a rest while building trusted relationships with households in Loftus — often supporting people with dementia, physical disabilities or post-hospital recovery.

PrimeCarers handles the admin so you can focus on care. We find clients, arrange contracts, manage invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. You remain self-employed: you set your own rates and decide which jobs to accept.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this if you need it), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. Once you apply it takes minutes to complete your profile and, after verification, profiles typically go live within days.

If you’re ready to keep delivering high-quality, person-centred respite in Loftus while gaining independence over your work, creating a PrimeCarers profile is a quick next step. You’ll stay in control of your schedule and income, support local families when they need a break, and work with the reassurance of contracts and insurance provided through the platform.
