Respite care on PrimeCarers typically involves providing companionship, personal care, medication prompting, meal support and light domestic tasks to give family carers a break. You might cover an afternoon so a family can run errands, an overnight, or a full weekend to allow longer trips away. Roles are flexible and local to Modbury and the surrounding area; you can accept work only where you want to travel, including Ivybridge, Kingsbridge, Sherford, Salcombe, Buckfastleigh and Totnes.

This kind of work suits experienced carers who want to move away from agency rota pressures but keep the variety and human connection of home care. You’ll be self-employed: you choose clients, hours and your service area. Typical pay aligns with the local market and you decide your rate within the platform guidelines — many see rates in the £18.80–£22 per hour range. Whether you prefer short day shifts or occasional longer respite stays, you control how much you take on.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check. If you need an Enhanced DBS, PrimeCarers can help arrange one. PrimeCarers also handles client matching, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides included insurance while you work, so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload your documents and references, and complete verification.
