Respite work can involve companionship, personal care, medication prompting, supporting short stays or sitting overnight to give a family carer a break.

You’ll visit people in their homes across Minchinhampton and the surrounding area, including Nailsworth, Stroud, Tetbury, Stonehouse, Painswick and Eastington, and wherever you choose to work within Gloucestershire.

This role suits experienced, practical carers who prefer flexible shifts over agency rotas. If you’re thinking of moving away from agency routines, PrimeCarers lets you keep the hands-on care you enjoy while being in control of hours and clients. Typical rates sit around £18.80–£22 per hour depending on experience and duties, and you set the final rate on your profile.

To join you’ll need at least one year’s professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We’ll verify those documents, then approve your profile — applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

PrimeCarers supports self-employed carers by finding families who need respite, handling contracts, invoicing and payments, and providing insurance while you work. You remain in control: choose clients, agree hours and record your availability. We aim to make short-term and weekend cover straightforward so you can focus on good care.

These are ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than a single post. If you already work with people in and around Minchinhampton or want to build up local respite work across Gloucestershire, PrimeCarers is set up to help you connect with families quickly and professionally.
