Respite work suits experienced carers who want flexibility. Many of the families who use PrimeCarers need cover for an evening out, a weekend away or a short period after hospital discharge. In Wisbech you’ll meet people from different backgrounds and needs; you can accept work that fits your experience and availability. You set your own rates and availability — typical rates are £18.80–£22 per hour — and choose clients within your preferred towns such as Long Sutton, March, Downham Market, Holbeach, Kings Lynn and Crowland.

What you’ll do day to day depends on each booking. Tasks commonly include helping with personal care, supporting mobility, preparing light meals, prompting or administering medication where agreed, keeping company and following care plans left by the family. Some bookings are a few hours; others are several consecutive days including sleep-in or live-in duties. Typical care pay examples are £18.80–£22 per hour for hourly care and £145–£160 per day for a live-in day, but you set the rate you’re comfortable with.
