Right now, 16 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Respite shifts can include sitting with someone while the usual family carer rests, supporting mobility and personal care for a few hours, supervising medication, or giving companionship during a weekend break. Families often ask for flexible cover at short notice, so this role suits calm, reliable carers who can adapt and communicate clearly with relatives and care leads. You’ll be matching directly with households in Stroud Green and the surrounding area.

Pay and flexibility: carers on PrimeCarers are self‑employed and set their own rates. Typical pay for this kind of work is £18.80–£20 per hour depending on tasks, time of day and client needs. You can advertise hourly care from £18.80–£20 per hour or live‑in day rates like £145–£160 per day. Choose the clients, hours and service area that suit you — whether you prefer regular weekend shifts or occasional short-notice cover.

Who this suits: experienced domiciliary and private carers who value autonomy and reliable admin support.
