Respite Carer Jobs in Turnpike Lane

If you’re an experienced carer in Turnpike Lane looking to move away from agency routines, PrimeCarers connects you with families who need respite cover — from a couple of hours to a few days, including weekend stays. Respite work here often means supporting a family carer by providing companionship, personal care, medication prompts, short stays away from home and flexible daytime or overnight cover. You’ll find work across Turnpike Lane and nearby areas, and we also have enquiries across Haringey.

As a self‑employed carer on PrimeCarers you choose the clients you accept, your hours and the service area you work in. You set your own rates and keep control of your diary, while we handle the business side: finding clients, drafting contracts, invoicing, collecting payments and providing insurance while you’re working. Typical pay for this kind of respite work is £19–£21.50 per hour.

Right now, 161 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Who this suits: experienced carers used to one‑to‑one support, respite champions who are calm under pressure, and professionals who want short notice or regular weekend bookings. You might be used to agency shifts but want more control over which families you help, or you could be looking to build a steady stream of ad‑hoc respite work around other commitments.

• Types of tasks: companionship, meal support, personal care, assistance with mobility, prompting medication, evening or overnight stays, and straightforward household tasks while someone rests.
• Shift length: anything from a few hours to multi‑day cover; you pick what you’ll accept.
• Where you’ll work: mainly in Turnpike Lane and Haringey, with enquiries from Hornsey, Wood Green, Harringay, Crouch End, Bowes Park and South Tottenham.

Requirements to join are simple and practical: at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK, and verifiable references. We check these quickly so your profile can go live within days of verification. Applying takes minutes and you’ll be able to start accepting respite shifts as soon as families see your profile.
