Respite Carer Jobs in Marazion

Respite care in Marazion gives families the short-term cover they need — from a few hours on a weekend to a couple of days when a family carer needs a proper break. You’ll support people at home with personal care, companionship, medication prompts and mobility assistance where needed. Many shifts are local, and you can expect work across Marazion and nearby towns. There is 1 family currently looking for care in the wider area.

This role suits experienced, compassionate carers who want more control than agency work typically offers. On PrimeCarers you’re self-employed, you choose your clients, hours and service area, and you set your own rates. Typical earnings sit around £15–£25 per hour for respite shifts, though you set the exact figure you charge.

Work can be daytime, evenings or overnight support for short stays. Tasks commonly include personal care, helping with household routines, preparing light meals, companionship and supporting established care plans. Many family carers look for someone reliable who can follow routines and communicate clearly — your professionalism and steadiness matter as much as practical skills.

PrimeCarers makes finding work straightforward. We match you with families in Marazion and Penzance, Newlyn, Hayle, St Ives, Porthleven and Helston. We also handle contracts, invoicing and payments and provide insurance while you are working with a family. That means you can focus on care, not paperwork. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

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. You’ll remain self-employed and free to organise your schedule — take short weekend shifts, cover a couple of days at a time or build a regular respite offering that suits you.

If you’re based in Marazion or elsewhere in Cornwall and want to move away from agency rota-style work while keeping steady, meaningful shifts, PrimeCarers could be the right fit. Create your profile in minutes, choose the clients who suit you and start accepting respite work that fits your life.
