Respite Carer Jobs in Tidworth

If you already provide hands-on or personal care and want short-term or weekend work around Tidworth, this is for you. Respite care here covers a few hours of evening relief, daytime breaks, overnight sits or cover for a couple of days so family carers can recharge. You’ll work directly with families in Tidworth and the surrounding area, taking on the shift lengths you prefer and building repeat local relationships.

New care jobs in the area are posted on PrimeCarers throughout the year.

As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you choose who to work for, which hours you take and how far you’ll travel across Tidworth and nearby towns such as Ludgershall, Amesbury, Andover, Marlborough, Salisbury and Hungerford. You set your own fees and can reflect your experience and availability in your rates. Typical rates for these roles are £19–£19.89 per hour.

Respite work is a great fit if you want to move away from agency rota rules but keep rewarding, flexible care work. Typical tasks include personal care, companionship, medication prompting, assistance with mobility, light domestic tasks related to the cared-for person and observing changes in wellbeing to share with the family. Many carers pick weekend or short evening bookings to fit around other commitments.

PrimeCarers finds families for you and handles the paperwork so you can focus on care. We manage contracts, invoicing and payments, and cover insurance while you are working on a booking. That means less admin than running entirely solo but the freedom of being self-employed.

• What we ask of you: at least 1 year of professional care experience;
• Checks & rights: an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references;
• Professional approach: reliable, compassionate and able to work independently with clear communication to families;
• Practical: ability to travel across Tidworth and nearby Wiltshire towns as agreed with clients.

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, add your experience and references, and we’ll verify the details. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and then you can start accepting respite bookings that suit you. PrimeCarers supports you every step of the way while keeping your independence as a self-employed carer.
