Respite Carer Jobs in Wimbledon

Looking for flexible respite work in Wimbledon that fits around your life? PrimeCarers connects experienced, self-employed carers with families needing short-term and weekend cover — from a couple of hours to a few days. Carers choose their own clients, hours and service area, and set their own rates. Right now, 232 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

Respite roles suit experienced carers who want more control than traditional agency work. Typical duties include companionship, personal care, medication prompting, light meal prep and household checks while family carers rest or take a break. You could be helping a family in central Wimbledon one weekend, or providing a few hours of essential daytime relief in Merton another week.

Rates vary by the care needed and the length of the booking. On PrimeCarers many carers charge in the range £18.80–£20 per hour, with common hourly and live-in ranges shown on your profile: £18.80–£20 per hour and £145–£160 per day. Because you are self-employed you decide the rate you’re comfortable with for each booking.

• Who we’re looking for: carers with at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK and verifiable references.
• Checks: an Enhanced DBS is required; PrimeCarers can help arrange this if you need support.
• Work area: roles are available across Wimbledon and nearby areas including Raynes Park, Motspur Park, Merton Park, South Wimbledon, Colliers Wood and Kingston Vale.

PrimeCarers does the legwork: we find clients, handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance for the time you work. That means you can focus on care while keeping the benefits of being self-employed and picking the shifts that suit you.

Applying takes minutes. Create a profile, add your experience and references, and upload your DBS when ready. Profiles typically go live within days of verification, so you can start seeing local respite opportunities quickly.

If you’re ready to move away from rigid rotas and take control of your respite work in Wimbledon, join PrimeCarers. Whether you prefer weekend cover, daytime breaks or short live-in stays, families need reliable, experienced carers who can give their loved ones safe, dignified support while they rest.
