Respite Carer Jobs in White City

Respite care in White City means short-term, reliable cover that gives family carers a break — from a few hours overnight or at weekends to a couple of days when extra support is needed. You’ll support people at home with companionship, personal care, medication prompts and light household tasks, stepping in so families can recharge or manage appointments. Right now, 248 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

This work suits experienced carers who want flexibility and more control than traditional agency hours. If you’re used to ad-hoc weekend shifts or occasional live-in cover, respite bookings let you plan around family life or other work. As a self-employed carer on PrimeCarers you set your own rates and choose which clients, hours and areas you take on — many carers charge within £18.80–£20 per hour depending on the care required and the time of day.

Typical session lengths vary: brief daytime support, evening and overnight cover, weekend stays or a couple of days of short-term relief. You’ll often work in private homes across White City and the wider borough; we also see requests coming from Shepherds Bush, Wormwood Scrubs, Old Oak Common, Notting Hill, North Kensington and Bedford Park and other local streets in Hammersmith and Fulham. Some carers prefer hourly visits (see £18.80–£20 per hour), others pick up live-in shifts (see £145–£160 per day).

PrimeCarers handles client matching, contracts, invoicing and payments so you can focus on care. Insurance is included while you work through the platform, and you remain self-employed — you decide which bookings to accept and when to decline. That freedom is helpful if you’re thinking of moving away from agency rotas and want more predictable, better-fitting work in White City.

• Minimum requirements: at least 1 year of professional care experience.
• Checks & rights: an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references.

How to apply: it takes minutes to create a profile. Upload your documents and references, complete the short verification steps and your profile typically goes live within days of verification. Once live you can start reviewing local respite requests and choose the clients and hours that suit you in White City and nearby areas. We don’t advertise a single role here — these are ongoing self-employed opportunities for carers who want control, clarity and better balance.
