Description
Looking for flexible respite work in Tottenham Hale? PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers directly with families who need short-term and weekend cover — from a few hours to a couple of days — so family carers can take a real break. If you’re fed up with agency rotas and want to keep control over who you care for and when, this platform is built for experienced carers. Right now, 149 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Respite care can mean sitting with someone while their family take a break, supporting a short recovery after hospital, providing companionship and activities, or assisting with personal care and medication reminders for a few hours or overnight. Shifts are varied and often local; many families in Tottenham Hale and across Haringey are looking for reliable, skilled self-employed carers for weekend cover and short blocks of support.
This work suits carers who value autonomy. If you have at least a year of professional care experience and want to choose your own clients, hours and service area, you can build a schedule that fits your life. You set your own rates and can aim within £18.89–£21.20 per hour depending on the support you offer and your experience.
PrimeCarers handles the time-consuming admin: we find clients, manage contracts, issue invoices and take care of payments. Insurance is included while you’re working on the platform, and we support arranging an Enhanced DBS if you need one. You remain self-employed at all times and free to accept or decline any booking. You can work across Tottenham Hale and nearby areas, including Tottenham Green, South Tottenham, Tottenham, Upper Clapton, Stamford Hill and Harringay.
To join you’ll need:
- At least one year of verified professional care experience
- An Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this)
- The right to work in the UK
- Verifiable references
Applying takes minutes and most profiles go live within days of verification, so you can start hearing from local families quickly. You remain in control of the rates you charge and the shifts you accept. If you already work in or around Tottenham Hale and want a better balance between hands-on care and paperwork, PrimeCarers offers a straightforward route out of agency-style bookings into flexible, self-directed respite work.
