Respite Carer Jobs in Newall Green

Respite care in Newall Green means short-term support that gives family carers a real break — from a few hours to a few days, including weekend cover. On PrimeCarers you’ll find ongoing self-employed opportunities so you stay in control of the work you accept. Right now, 8 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This kind of work is practical and varied: sitting with someone at home, supporting personal care, helping with medication prompts, companionship, short stays to cover hospital discharge plans, or providing weekend relief while family carers rest or manage other commitments. Most assignments are in people’s own homes across Newall Green and nearby areas such as Baguley, Benchill, Wythenshawe, Sharston, Northern Moor and Northenden, with many in and around Manchester.

Pay is set by you — carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and choose their own rates. Typical remuneration for respite sits around £18.50–£20 per hour; you’ll also see listings that refer to hourly and live-in ranges such as £18.50–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day. You select which clients to work with, the hours you accept and the service area you cover.

PrimeCarers finds clients and handles the paperwork for you: contracts, invoicing and payments are taken care of, and insurance is included while you work. That means you keep the autonomy of self-employment without the usual admin holding you back. If you’re used to agency life but want more control, this model lets you keep professional standards while choosing the balance that suits you.

To join we ask for at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We do not post individual jobs here — this page advertises ongoing opportunities across Newall Green so you can pick assignments that fit your availability and skills.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload your documents and references, and once verified your profile typically goes live within days — then you can start considering bookings from local families who need respite cover. If you prefer regular weekend work or occasional short stays, you’ll be able to set those preferences in your profile and manage bookings around your life.
