Respite Carer Jobs in Twickenham

Help families in Twickenham take a break by providing short-term and weekend respite cover — from a few hours to a few days. You’ll step in for regular family carers, offer companionship, assist with personal care, support during short-term recovery or provide overnight cover so carers can rest. Right now, 214 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Work across Twickenham and the wider Richmond upon Thames area, including nearby neighbourhoods such as Strawberry Hill, Eel Pie Island, St Margarets, Ham, Teddington and Hampton Hill. As a PrimeCarers professional you’re self-employed: you choose the clients you accept, the hours you work and the area you cover. Many carers on the platform set their own rates and flexibility is central — typical rates sit around £18.80–£20.70 per hour. For clarity, common bands are shown as £18.80–£20.70 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for live‑in day rates, but you decide what to charge.

Respite care suits experienced carers who want a different way of working: perhaps you’re ready to move away from agency rotas, shorten your travel, or build closer relationships with families in Twickenham. Typical duties include companionship and emotional support, personal care (washing, dressing, toileting), medication prompts, assistance with meals and light household tasks, short‑term post‑hospital support and supervised overnight stays.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. PrimeCarers introduces you to suitable families, handles client contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work — so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.

Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. Create a clear profile, confirm your checks and references, and start reviewing local respite opportunities in Twickenham, Strawberry Hill and the surrounding neighbourhoods.

If you want regular short-term work that fits your life, with the freedom to set your own rates, hours and clients, PrimeCarers makes it straightforward to get started in Twickenham and across Richmond upon Thames.
