Description
Looking for flexible respite work in Tenby that fits around your life? PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with local families needing short-term and weekend cover — from a couple of hours to a few days. You’ll be doing vital respite work: sitting with someone while a family member rests, supporting short-term personal care, companionship, medication prompts and short stays in the home. Families ask for help on weekends and evenings as well as occasional daytime cover.
New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.
This kind of work suits experienced carers who value autonomy. If you’re used to agency routines but want to choose your clients, hours and how far you travel, Tenby is a great place to build a regular respite roster. Many carers pick a radius that also covers surrounding Pembrokeshire towns such as Pembroke, Narberth, Pembroke Dock, Neyland, Whitland and Laugharne.
Pay and flexibility: you set your own rates as a self-employed carer, and many on the platform work within £15–£25 per hour. You decide which clients to accept, which shifts to take and whether to offer short stays or just hourly cover. PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and includes insurance while you work, so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.
To join you’ll need:
- At least 1 year of professional care experience.
- An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this).
- The right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
