Work in Rye and the surrounding area on terms that suit you. You set your own rates and choose your clients, hours and service area, with typical pay of £19–£21.80 per hour. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and takes care of contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work.

Respite work often includes a mix of companionship, personal care and practical support for families needing a short break. Tasks can include helping with personal care, supporting mobility, medication prompting, meal support and providing reassuring company while the primary carer takes time away. Shifts vary — daytime, evenings or short overnight stays — and you decide which to accept.

This work suits experienced carers who want more control than agency rotas allow. It’s ideal if you already have at least a year of professional care experience and want to balance work around family, study or other commitments. Many carers who join PrimeCarers are drawn by the freedom to choose work close to home in Rye and towns such as Winchelsea, Lydd, Ore Valley, Tenterden, New Romney and Hastings.

To join you’ll need:

• At least 1 year of professional care experience
• An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one)
• The right to work in the UK and verifiable references

Applying takes minutes and most profiles go live within days once verified. PrimeCarers handles the administrative side so you can focus on care: they manage client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and include insurance cover for the time you are working with a family. You remain self-employed, set your own hourly rates and choose the bookings you accept.

If you live in Rye, or work across East Sussex, this is a practical way to build a varied respite caseload without being tied to fixed shifts.
