Respite Carer Jobs in Mansfield

Looking for flexible respite care work in Mansfield and across Nottinghamshire? PrimeCarers connects experienced self-employed carers with families needing short-term and weekend cover — from a few hours to a few days. You choose the clients you want to work with, the hours you take and the area you cover, while PrimeCarers finds clients and manages contracts, invoicing and payments with insurance included while you work.

Right now, 9 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Respite roles are straightforward: sitting with someone at home, supporting a relative while the family has a break, providing overnight care for a few nights, or covering regular weekend slots. Work can be hands-on personal care, companionship, medication prompting or supporting daily activities — whatever the family requests and you’re comfortable with. Typical pay for these shifts lies around £18.80–£20 per hour, but as a self-employed carer you set your own rates and can accept only the jobs that suit you.

This kind of work suits experienced carers who want flexibility and more control than agency rotas usually allow. If you’re considering moving away from permanent agency shifts, PrimeCarers lets you keep the care work you enjoy while choosing when and where you work in Mansfield and nearby towns such as Sutton in Ashfield, Shirebrook, Kirkby in Ashfield, Warsop, Bolsover and Hucknall.

To join you’ll need 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. PrimeCarers will verify your documents and references, then publish your profile — applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

When you work through PrimeCarers we handle the client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payment collection so you can focus on care. Insurance is included while you’re on a booked job. You remain self-employed: you set your own rates, choose your clients and the hours you accept, and invoice through our platform when bookings are completed.

If you’re an experienced carer in Mansfield who wants clearer control over your week, more predictable short-term work and weekend cover, create a profile and start seeing suitable respite opportunities. The sign-up is quick and support is local — whether you want occasional weekend shifts or regular short respite bookings across Nottinghamshire.
