Respite roles are ideal if you’re experienced in supervised personal care, companionship, medication prompting, or supporting someone with mobility needs. Work often involves supporting family carers so they can take a break, helping with personal care, mealtimes, light domestic tasks and companionship during short stays. Much of the work is local to Newport on Tay and the surrounding area including Woodhaven, Wormit, Tayport, Leuchars, Monifieth and Cupar, making it easy to fit rounds into a weekend or a block of days in Fife.

PrimeCarers is built for self-employed carers who want more control. Carers set their own rates and choose their clients, hours and service area. Typical listings on the platform show rates around £19.20–£20 per hour for weekend and short-term cover. We introduce you to families, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work — so you can focus on care, not paperwork.

To join you’ll need:

• At least 1 year of professional care experience — agency, domiciliary or care-home experience all count.
• An Enhanced DBS check — PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you don’t already have one.
• The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
