Looking for respite care work in Surrey Quays that fits around your life? PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers directly with families needing short-term and weekend cover — from a few hours to a few days. You choose the clients, the hours and the area you work in, while we find the families, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work.

Right now, 218 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Respite care assignments in Surrey Quays and the wider Southwark area include sitting with someone at home, supporting personal care for short stays, companionship during a weekend away, or providing a few days’ cover when a family carer is taking a break. These roles suit experienced carers who prefer variety, control and the chance to build direct relationships with families. Work is self-employed: you set your own rates and choose which jobs to accept. Typical pay sits around £18.80–£20 per hour, and many carers use PrimeCarers to run their own micro-business without agency shifts or rota penalties.

Working through PrimeCarers means we take care of the admin so you can focus on care. We arrange client introductions, manage the paperwork and take care of invoicing and secure payments. Insurance is included while you are booked through our platform. You remain self-employed, free to accept or decline work and to set your own terms.

What we ask 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
• Verifiable references from recent care roles
