You choose the clients you accept, the hours you work and the area you cover, and you set your own rates. Many local carers charge within £18.80–£20 per hour depending on experience and the support needed.

This work suits experienced carers who want more control than traditional agency shifts. If you’re used to supporting people with personal care, medication prompts, companionship or supporting during activities and outings, respite bookings can fit around your life. You’ll often be asked to support a family carer by giving them a reliable break, so professionalism, patience and practical care skills matter.

PrimeCarers handles the paperwork so you can focus on care. We find clients, manage contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re working. Carers remain self-employed: you decide your availability, cancel or accept assignments and negotiate the finer details with the family. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

• Requirements to join: at least 1 year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
• Work type: short-term respite and weekend cover — from a few hours to a few days, occasionally overnight support for families in Stone and nearby areas.
• Flexibility: choose the hours and neighbourhoods you cover; many carers pick work within Staffordshire and towns such as Eccleshall, Longton, Fenton, Stoke on Trent, Stafford and Newcastle under Lyme.

If you’re thinking of moving away from agency rosters, PrimeCarers is a practical next step: keep the independence of self-employed work but get client introductions and admin support. There’s no single advertised post here — instead these are ongoing opportunities across Stone and the surrounding area.

To apply, create a profile (it takes minutes), submit your ID, DBS and references, and we’ll verify your details. Once verified your profile can go live within days and families can start inviting you to respite bookings. If you need help with an Enhanced DBS or have questions about working patterns in Stone, our team will guide you through the checks and setup.
