Description

Looking for weekend respite work in Loxford that fits around your life? PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers directly with families who need short-term and weekend cover — anything from a few hours to a few days.

Respite roles suit skilled carers who enjoy variety and value flexibility. Typical tasks include personal care, medication prompting, mobility support, companionship and household help during short stays. Many carers cover evenings and weekend blocks to give family carers a chance to rest or manage appointments. You might work nearby in Loxford or travel across Redbridge and into neighbouring areas such as Ilford, Little Ilford, Barking, Manor Park, Seven Kings and East Ham.

Pay and patterns are up to you. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed, set their own rates and choose which clients and hours they take. Typical rates fall in the range £18.80–£20 per hour depending on the level of care and location; you can also set different rates for hourly care (£18.80–£20 per hour) or live-in respite days (£145–£160 per day).

PrimeCarers makes it straightforward to move away from agency-style rosters while keeping reliable admin support. We find clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you work. That means you focus on care, not paperwork — and you remain in control of your diary across Loxford and the wider Redbridge area.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this) and verifiable references. We don’t post one single job here — we advertise ongoing self-employed opportunities across the area, so you can pick assignments that suit you rather than being tied into fixed rotas.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, add your experience and references, and after verification your profile typically goes live within days. Once live, families can contact you and PrimeCarers will help set up the first assignment, manage the contract and process payments.
