Respite Carer Jobs in St Davids

Respite care in St Davids means short-term, reliable cover that gives family carers a break — from a few hours to a weekend or a few days. You’ll support people in their own homes across St Davids and the surrounding communities of Pembrokeshire, offering companionship, personal care and practical help so families can rest or deal with other commitments.New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

This work suits experienced, compassionate carers who want more control than agency life usually allows. You choose which clients to accept, the hours you do and the area you work in, whether that’s central St Davids or nearby towns such as Haverfordwest, Goodwick, Fishguard, Milford Haven, Hakin and Neyland. Typical rates are £15–£25 per hour (hourly £15–£25 per hour; live-in £145–£160 per day), and because you’re self-employed you set your own rate to reflect the support you provide.

Respite shifts vary: some are a few hours in an afternoon, others cover an overnight or a short weekend stay. Tasks often include helping with medication prompts, personal care, meal support, mobility assistance and being a reassuring presence. The role is hands-on and rewarding — it’s about maintaining dignity and enabling families to recharge.
