Respite care typically involves companionship, personal care, medication prompting and supporting day-to-day routines while the family carer rests. Some roles are daytime check-ins or afternoon companionship; others are overnight or short live-in stays where you help maintain a familiar routine. Roles around Norbiton often include support for older people and those with long-term conditions; you may also meet families from nearby areas such as New Malden, Berrylands, Surbiton, Hampton Wick, Kingston Vale and Motspur Park and across Kingston upon Thames who need weekend or emergency cover.

This kind of work suits carers who value variety and autonomy. It’s ideal if you have at least a year’s professional care experience and can provide verifiable references. You’ll need the right to work in the UK and an Enhanced DBS check — PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you don’t already have it. We do not advertise one fixed role here: these are ongoing self-employed opportunities you can accept as they suit you.

Pay is set by you — many carers list rates in the range £19–£21.50 per hour and choose between hourly or short live-in work (typical ranges are £19–£21.50 per hour for hourly care and £146–£162.50 per day for live-in days). PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance cover for the time you work. That means less paperwork for you and more time doing the care you prefer.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, upload references and your DBS (or ask us to help arrange one) and once verified your profile usually goes live within days. You remain in control: accept only the clients, hours and locations that suit you around Norbiton and Kingston upon Thames.
