Respite roles commonly include companionship, personal care, medication prompts, short stays in the client’s home and supporting family members during weekends or daytime breaks. Work is ideal for people who enjoy one‑to‑one support, those who want short shifts between other commitments, and carers thinking about moving away from agency models but keeping the hands‑on care they love. Many carers on PrimeCarers cover Tufnell Park, Gospel Oak, Kentish Town, Archway and the wider Camden area; you can set your service area to suit where you live.
Pay and flexibility are in your hands. As a self‑employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates (typical £18.89–£21.30 per hour) and choose which jobs to accept. You’ll see how families describe the care needed and decide if a short‑stay, overnight or weekend arrangement fits you. If you work live‑in or hourly care, you can include your preferred daily or hourly rate on your profile using £18.89–£21.30 per hour and £148–£163.50 per day where relevant.
PrimeCarers handles the admin so you can focus on care: we find clients, manage contracts, take care of invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re working. That support is designed for carers who want freedom without giving up practical back‑up.
To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one if needed), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
