Description
PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers in Telscombe with families who need respite — short-term and weekend cover that gives family carers a break, from a few hours to a few days. If you’re used to agency routines but want control over who you support and when, this is a different way of working that fits around your life in Telscombe and nearby.
Right now, 4 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Respite roles vary: some families need overnight cover for a couple of nights; others need a reliable carer for a weekend each month or a handful of daytime hours while a family member rests. Work can include personal care, medication prompts, companionship, meal support and helping people stay safe and comfortable. You’ll provide short-term, respectful, person-centred care and clear notes for the family. These are ongoing self-employed opportunities rather than one-off jobs.
On PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose your own clients, hours and service area — many carers in the area list availability for weekends and short breaks across Telscombe, Peacehaven, Newhaven, Lewes, Brighton, Seaford and Hove. Typical pay is £19–£21 per hour for this kind of work, and you can offer hourly or live-in options as you prefer.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. PrimeCarers handles finding clients, contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work — so you can concentrate on caring and on running your business.
Many carers who move from agency work appreciate the flexibility here: you decide which bookings to accept, which streets of Telscombe to cover and when you want time off. Applying takes minutes online and profiles typically go live within days of verification.
