Description

Weekend and short-term respite care in Stechford gives family carers a vital break — from a couple of hours to a few days. These roles are about companionship, practical support and safe hands during evenings and weekends. You’ll often provide personal care, medication prompts, mealtime help, light household tasks and company so the main carer can rest or run errands.

Right now, 26 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

PrimeCarers is an introductory platform that connects self-employed carers directly with local families. We find clients and handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and we include insurance for the time you work. You set your own rates, choose your own clients, hours and service area. Typical pay sits in £18.50–£20 per hour; many carers find clients who pay within £18.50–£20 per hour for hourly care or within £145–£160 per day for live-in day cover.

This kind of work suits experienced, reliable carers who want control and variety. If you’re used to agency rotas and want to shape your weekends and short breaks, you’ll find the freedom to accept the offers that fit your life. You can pick work in Stechford itself or nearby areas such as Yardley, Little Bromwich, Hodge Hill, Lea Hall, Kents Moat and Ward End, all across the West Midlands.
