Description
Respite care in Notting Hill is about short-term, hands-on support that gives family carers a real break — from a few hours to a couple of days, often at weekends. You’ll work with families across Notting Hill and nearby areas like North Kensington, Holland Park, Bayswater, White City, Shepherds Bush and Little Venice offering companionship, personal care and practical help. Right now, 159 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
This is ongoing self-employed work, not a single job listing. It suits experienced carers who want to move away from agency rotas and take control of their time. You choose your clients, your hours and the area you cover around Notting Hill, and you set your own rate as a self-employed carer. Typical pay sits around £19–£21.50 per hour depending on the care required and the hours.
Respite shifts vary: short afternoon or evening sits, weekend cover while a family goes away, or a couple of days of live-in support when a carer needs a longer break. You might be helping with personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, mobility support or simply being there so a family member can rest. Many roles are local to Notting Hill but we also see opportunities across Kensington and Chelsea.
PrimeCarers makes the practical side straightforward. We find families for you, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. That means you can focus on care and on choosing work that fits your life.
- What you need to join: at least 1 year of professional care experience;
- Checks: an Enhanced DBS — PrimeCarers can help arrange one;
- Right to work: legal right to work in the UK;
- References: verifiable professional references.
Applying takes minutes and your profile typically goes live within days of verification.
