Description

Looking for weekend and short-term respite work across Marylebone and nearby streets in Westminster? PrimeCarers connects self‑employed carers with families needing cover from a few hours to a few days — evenings, weekends and short breaks. These are ongoing self‑employed opportunities to provide respite care, not a single role. Right now, 219 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Respite work can include sitting and companionship, personal care, medication prompts, light meal preparation and supporting families while their main carer rests. Shifts often cover weekend day or overnight help, short daytime breaks or a sequence of weekend shifts — flexible arrangements that suit carers who prefer variety and control over their diary in Marylebone and beyond.

This role suits experienced carers who want to move away from agency rota constraints: you set your own rates, accept the clients you want and choose your hours and service area. Typical rates sit around £18.80–£20 per hour; many carers work within the range of £18.80–£20 per hour for hourly care or £145–£160 per day for live‑in day arrangements. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work — so you can focus on the care. You keep the freedom of self‑employment and the clarity of a supported platform.

To join you need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify profiles quickly: applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. You also choose which families to accept and can limit work to Marylebone, Westminster or the wider neighbourhoods like St. Marylebone, Mayfair, Fitzrovia, Soho, Greenhill and Chinatown.

If you’re used to agency life but want more control, respite work through PrimeCarers lets you keep your professional standards while deciding when and where you work. We’re looking for reliable, respectful carers who can offer calm, practical short‑term support to families in and around Marylebone.
