Respite work in Stalham and around Norfolk is varied. Some families want a trusted carer for regular weekend cover so family carers can rest; others need occasional daytime or overnight help for a short period. You can pick the assignments that suit your skills and availability: evenings, weekends or blocks of a few days. Many of our carers balance PrimeCarers work with other commitments precisely because they choose their hours and clients.

As a PrimeCarers carer you are self-employed: you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area and decide how much work to take on. Typical rates for these roles fall in £19–£22.50 per hour and you are free to set your own price. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and takes care of contracts, invoicing and payments; insurance is included while you work, so you can focus on care.

This type of work suits experienced carers who want more control than traditional agency work. If you have at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS (we can help arrange one if needed) and verifiable references, you can apply. We also ask for a clear work history and professionalism in how you communicate with families.
