Respite Carer Jobs in Winslow

Short-term and weekend respite care plays a vital role for families in Winslow and across Buckinghamshire. You could be covering a few hours to give a family carer an afternoon off, or providing overnight or multi-day support so someone can have a break or attend appointments. PrimeCarers connects you with local families while you stay fully in control of when and where you work. Right now, 7 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

These are ongoing self-employed opportunities across Winslow rather than one specific listing. Work typically includes companionship, personal care, medication prompts, light household tasks and supporting day-to-day routines while family carers take a break. Shifts range from a couple of hours to several days, and some carers choose weekend-only patterns while others pick occasional weekday blocks.

Pay and flexibility are built around you. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed and set their own rates; typical roles fall within £19–£20.10 per hour depending on experience and location. You choose clients, hours and the service area you cover, including nearby towns such as Buckingham, Bletchley, Fenny Stratford, Stony Stratford, Wolverton and Greenleys and Linslade. PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and provides insurance while you work.

This role suits experienced carers who want to move on from agency routines and keep control of their diary. You should have at least one year of professional care experience, the right to work in the UK, an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange one if needed) and verifiable references. We don’t require specific training beyond your experience, but many carers bring NVQ or similar credentials and specialist knowledge for dementia or respite needs.

• Typical tasks: companionship, personal care, safe transfers, medication prompts, light meal prep and keeping the person engaged.

• Practical points: you’re self-employed, set your own rates, and PrimeCarers manages bookings, contracts, invoices and payments with included insurance while you work.
