Description

Are you an experienced carer based in Petworth or nearby West Sussex towns? Respite care offers you the chance to provide vital short-term support to families, giving family carers a well-earned break. Whether it’s for a few hours over a weekend or several days during the week, you’ll be helping families maintain balance and wellbeing.

Respite care suits carers who want flexibility and variety. You’ll work directly with families in Petworth and surrounding areas such as Lodge Hill, Midhurst, Haslemere, Arundel, Woodgate and Littlehampton, deciding when and where you care. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers, you set your own rates within the typical range of £18.80–£22.50 per hour, choose your clients, and manage your schedule to fit your lifestyle.

PrimeCarers supports you by handling client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments. Plus, you’re covered by insurance during every care visit, giving you peace of mind while you work.
