Respite care suits experienced carers who want flexibility without the agency paperwork.

On PrimeCarers you are self-employed: you set your own rates, choose your clients, hours and service area, and decide how much to take on. Many carers on the platform advertise rates around £18.50–£20 per hour and negotiate directly with families. PrimeCarers finds you clients and handles contracts, invoicing and payments, with insurance included while you work, so you can focus on care, not admin.

To join you’ll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if you need), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify documents quickly: applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. If you’re leaving agency work or want to build a local private caseload in Wilmslow, PrimeCarers makes that simple and transparent.

What you won’t find here is fixed rota pressure or a middleman deciding your shifts. Families post their needs; you choose which matches to accept. You remain in control of your diary, the clients you accept and the way you work. If you prefer weekend respite, short-term cover or occasional block bookings you’ll find options that fit your life.
