Work is local to The Hale and nearby communities like Edgware, Mill Hill, Burnt Oak, Grahame Park, Colindale and Barnet Gate, and also around Enfield. You’ll be supporting people in their homes: companionship, personal care, medication prompts, light meal preparation and outings where required. The focus here is respite — giving family carers dependable, short-term cover so they can rest, run errands or manage appointments.

This opportunity suits experienced carers who value flexibility. If you’re used to agency shifts but want to set your own hours and choose the clients you want to work with, PrimeCarers lets you do that. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates. You choose your own clients, hours and service area. PrimeCarers finds carers clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while they work.

Typical arrangements are weekend blocks, single evenings, or a couple of days to cover a planned break. You won’t be hired for one fixed role here — this page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities in and around The Hale rather than a single post. Pay is set by you; many carers reference the platform’s typical ranges when setting their rates.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check. PrimeCarers can help arrange a DBS if you don’t already have one. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification.

How to apply: create a profile, upload your references and DBS (or request support to get one), and tell us the types of respite work and hours you prefer. Once verified, you can start seeing local short-term bookings in The Hale and nearby areas. If you want weekend-only work, occasional nights or short live-in stays, say so on your profile and choose the jobs that suit you.

If you’re ready to move away from rigid rota work and take control of which families you support in The Hale and Enfield, this is a practical, flexible route to keep doing the care you love while working on your terms.
