There is 1 family currently looking for care in the wider area.

Respite roles include sitting with someone at home, companionship, help with personal care, medication prompts, mobility assistance and short stays to cover weekends or holiday breaks. Many bookings are for evenings and weekends, but you’ll also see daytime and short multi-day requests. Work in Neath and the surrounding Neath Port Talbot area, with opportunities near Port Talbot, Maesteg, Lliw Valey, Gorseinon, Garnant and Glanamman and other local communities.

This work suits experienced carers who want control and variety. You choose clients, hours and service area, and you set your own rates — typically around £18.50–£20.39 per hour depending on care level and shift length. You can also consider live-in respite for longer cover; typical ranges are shown with £145–£160 per day and hourly details with £18.50–£20.39 per hour.

PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work, so you can focus on care rather than admin. Profiles usually go live within days of verification and applying takes minutes.

Who we’re looking for

• At least 1 year of professional care experience.
• An Enhanced DBS check — PrimeCarers can help arrange this if needed.
• The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
• Good communication, respect for confidentiality and a calm, patient approach.

Many carers in Neath find this model fits better around family, studies or other commitments while keeping the care they love doing.

How to apply

• Create a profile on PrimeCarers — it only takes minutes.
