This work suits experienced carers who want flexibility and control. On PrimeCarers you’re self-employed: you set your own rates and choose which families you work with, which hours you accept and how far you’ll travel. Typical pay is shown as £18.80–£20 per hour, and many carers use £18.80–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day as guides when setting fees. You’ll be able to pick short weekday shifts, regular weekend cover or occasional multi‑day respite stays in and around West Brompton.

PrimeCarers finds clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments for you, and insurance is included while you’re working through the platform. That means you can focus on care rather than paperwork. You can also limit the service area to neighbourhoods you prefer — many carers cover nearby areas such as Fulham, Earls Court, Parsons Green, West Kensington, Castelnau and Sands End while keeping West Brompton as their base.

We ask applicants to have at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange one if you need), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. If you already have a current DBS and references, the verification step is quicker. PrimeCarers welcomes carers who are used to agency work but are ready for more control over hours and clients, and for a simpler, more direct way of finding respite shifts across Hammersmith and Fulham and local suburbs.

Applying takes minutes: create a profile, upload ID, DBS and references, and tell us what kind of respite work you’re interested in. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can start seeing enquiries soon after you apply. We never advertise a single role here — this page promotes ongoing, self‑employed respite opportunities in West Brompton for experienced carers looking for flexible, trustworthy work.
