Respite Carer Jobs in Ramsey

Respite care in Ramsey gives families the short-term and weekend cover they need — whether that’s a few hours in an afternoon, overnight support or several days so a family carer can recharge. On PrimeCarers you work as a self-employed carer: you choose clients, set your own rates and decide the hours and service area that suit you. We match you with local families who need reliable short-term support across Ramsey and the surrounding villages.

Right now, 2 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Respite work here ranges from brief sitting and companionship to personal care and medication prompting for people with long-term conditions or recovery needs. Many families are looking for experienced, steady carers who can step in at short notice for weekends or school holiday periods. The flexibility suits people who want to balance care work with other commitments, and it’s a good fit if you prefer block-bookings of a few days as well as single shifts.

Because you are self-employed on PrimeCarers you set your own fees and control the work you accept. Typical rates for this kind of role are £18.80–£20.70 per hour. You choose which clients to accept, the hours you’ll do and the area you cover — whether you prefer to work in Ramsey centre or out towards Glebe Farm, Chatteris, Whittlesey, Huntingdon, Godmanchester and March.

PrimeCarers does the admin so you can focus on care. We find clients, handle contracts, manage invoicing and payments, and include insurance while you’re working. That support makes it easier to run your own care work without the paperwork.

Who this will suit:

• Experienced carers with at least one year of professional care work who want more control than agency shifts allow.
• People who value flexibility — pick short weekend bookings or multi-day respite stays and arrange your own schedule.
• Carers who want local work across Ramsey and neighbouring communities in Cambridgeshire.

To join you’ll need at least one year’s care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this) and verifiable references. We’ll guide you through verification and run basic checks before your profile goes live.

Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. There’s no single advertised role here — we’re promoting ongoing self-employed opportunities across Ramsey and nearby towns. If you’re ready to step away from agency rota restrictions and take greater control of your care work, creating a PrimeCarers profile is an easy next step.
