Description

Looking for short-term or weekend work in Warsop that gives local families a much-needed break? Respite care on PrimeCarers covers everything from a few hours of evening support to full weekend or multi-day stays — the kind of flexible, reliable cover families in Warsop value when they need a breather. Right now, 8 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

As a self-employed carer you choose the clients you want to work with, the hours you take and the area you cover. Many carers use PrimeCarers to offer weekend and short-stay respite while continuing other commitments. You set your own rates within the local market, typically £18.50–£20 per hour, and can decide whether you prefer single short shifts, regular weekend rounds, or occasional live-in blocks.

PrimeCarers finds clients and handles the admin so you can focus on care. We issue contracts, manage invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work. That means less paperwork and more time doing the work you know well. Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification.

This role suits experienced, practical carers who enjoy short-term support work: help with personal care, medication prompts, companionship, mobility assistance and supporting family carers with transfers and routines. Often families need cover for evening respite, weekend days out or a few nights’ relief so loved ones can recharge. You’ll work across Warsop and nearby areas including Shirebrook, Mansfield, Ollerton, Bolsover, Ollerton and Boughton and Sutton in Ashfield, often on a flexible rota agreed directly with the family.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, verifiable references and an Enhanced DBS check. If you don’t yet have an Enhanced DBS, PrimeCarers can help arrange one. Because carers on the platform are self-employed, you’re responsible for your tax and any required registrations, but PrimeCarers supports you with contracts and payments while you care.

If you’re used to agency life and want more control over who you work for and when, respite work through PrimeCarers can give you predictable weekend work and extra hours without long-term commitments. You can tailor your profile to show the kinds of respite cover you prefer and the parts of Nottinghamshire you’ll travel to. Carers often combine weekend respite with other shifts to build a schedule that suits them.

Ready to get started? Create your profile in minutes, upload your references and DBS, and you’ll be visible to families looking for skilled respite support. Profiles typically go live within days after verification, so you can start receiving enquiries quickly.
