Description

Offer short-term and weekend respite support to families across Tiverton and the surrounding area. This role suits experienced carers who want to cover a few hours, an evening shift or a few days to give family carers a break. You’ll work as a self-employed carer, choose the clients you accept and set the hours you want. Right now, 4 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Respite visits typically include companionship, personal care, medication prompts, light domestic support and supporting routines so family carers can recharge or manage commitments. Work in Tiverton, travel to nearby towns such as Cullompton, Bradninch, Dulverton, Crediton, Wiveliscombe and Wellington, or agree to cover a wider patch across Devon if you prefer. You can take short blocks or multiple weekend bookings — the choice is yours.

Pay and flexibility matter. Carers on PrimeCarers set their own rates and keep control of their work pattern; typical rates sit around £18.89–£24.40 per hour depending on the client and the care required. You’ll decide whether to offer hourly care (typical range £18.89–£24.40 per hour) or live‑in short stays (typical day range £145–£160.50 per day). PrimeCarers handles client introductions, contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work so you can focus on the care.

This opportunity is aimed at people with at least one year of professional care experience who want to move away from agency constraints. To join you’ll need:

  • At least 1 year of documented professional care experience
  • An Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this)
  • The right to work in the UK
  • Verifiable references

Applying takes minutes and you can manage your availability, rates and the clients you accept from day one. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, and then you can begin choosing assignments that suit your diary and travel limits across Tiverton and nearby communities. PrimeCarers will handle client matching, contracts and secure payments so you can concentrate on delivering quality respite care.

If you’re used to agency shifts but want more control over when and where you work, this is a practical way to keep doing the work you love while earning on your own terms in Tiverton. Create your profile, upload references and let us verify your documents — many carers have profiles live within days and start receiving enquiries straight away.
