Description
Short-term and weekend respite cover in Montgomery gives family carers a reliable break — from a few hours to a few days. You’ll provide companionship, personal care, medication prompting and household support so families can rest, run errands or take a short holiday. New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.
This work suits experienced, confident carers in and around Montgomery who want to move away from rota-driven agency life and take control. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed: you choose your clients, hours and service area and set your own rates (typical £15–£25 per hour). You can accept one-off weekend bookings, regular short shifts or longer respite stays; many carers mix a few hours of local support with occasional live-in respite. Typical pay guidance ranges are £15–£25 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live-in days.
PrimeCarers finds clients and takes care of the admin so you can focus on care. We handle contracts, invoicing and payments and provide insurance while you are working. That means less paperwork for you but the freedom to be self-employed and manage your own diary.
Who can join
- At least 1 year of professional care experience.
- An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if needed).
- The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

Applying takes just minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. There’s no fixed rota, no employer telling you which shifts you must take — just the support to run your own care work and regular, short-term opportunities across Montgomery and nearby towns.
