Respite shifts vary: some families need evening or overnight help, others ask for a full weekend so their primary carer can recharge. The work suits experienced carers who prefer flexible days and fewer long-term commitments, and who value direct relationships with families rather than an agency rota. In Ollerton and Boughton you’ll meet households with a wide range of needs and preferences, and you can pick the bookings that fit your skills and lifestyle.

On PrimeCarers you are self-employed and you set your own rates. Typical roles in the area fall within £18.80–£20 per hour depending on the tasks and length of cover. PrimeCarers finds you clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work. You choose your clients, your hours and your service area — whether you want to cover just Ollerton and Boughton or travel further across Nottinghamshire and nearby towns such as Ollerton, Warsop, Retford, East Retford, Worksop and Shirebrook.

Typical duties for respite work include companionship, personal care (washing, dressing, toileting), supporting mobility, prompting medication, light meal prep and household tidying. Some families request short outings or dementia-aware support; you only accept bookings you feel competent to deliver. These roles are ideal if you are used to working independently and want to leave agency shift patterns behind while keeping steady, flexible weekend work.

To join you need at least 1 year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), and verifiable references. PrimeCarers will guide you through verification so your profile can go live quickly — applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
