Description
Looking for flexible respite work in Woking that fits around life and other commitments? Respite care on PrimeCarers covers short-term and weekend support — from a few hours of sitting to a couple of days’ cover — helping family carers take a reliable break. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed: you choose your clients, hours and service area, and you set your own rates.
Right now, 87 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
Most bookings are familiar, person-centred care: companionship, support with personal care or medication prompts, preparing simple meals, moving and positioning where needed, and overnight sitting for families who need cover for a night or two. These roles suit experienced carers who prefer variety and control — ideal if you’re thinking about leaving agency work but want to keep dependable, respectful work in and around Woking and neighbouring towns like Castle Green, Ripley, Brooklands,, Chertsey, Guildford and Weybridge in Surrey.
Pay & flexibility
On PrimeCarers you set your own rate, and many carers list within the typical range of £18.80–£21.50 per hour. You can take short daytime shifts, weekend blocks or occasional live-in nights depending on what you want to do. You remain self-employed, so you decide which bookings to accept and how much you want to work.
What PrimeCarers does for you
We find clients and handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and there’s insurance included while you work. That means less paperwork for you and clearer, faster payments. You remain in control of every booking and can refuse work that doesn’t suit you.
