Job Description

As a Live-In Care Assistant, you will be living with one of our customers or maybe even a couple to provide the very best care. You are there to be a companion, but also to help them remain independent in their own home and cherish all the memories they’ve made there.

  • Providing personal care duties,
  • Administering medication,
  • Manual handling, using equipment where required,
  • Promoting customer health and well-being, enabling them to live their life to the full.
  • Household chores
  • Meal preparation
  • Shopping
  • Social Outings
  • Offering our customers companionship

 

To begin with, you will live with our customers for 3 weeks on and one week off but once you’re embedded into your role, you will be able to stay for a maximum of 8 working weeks at a time. This time is negotiable to suit you.

Live-in Care Assistants are matched to our customers to ensure our customers and you get along so the most important thing to us is that you are naturally compassionate, caring and patient.

  • You will have regular contact with your supervisor along with access to our career pathway allowing you to gain qualifications to grow your knowledge and confidence to provide the very best care to our customers.
  • Ongoing training and support
  • Regular, scheduled daily and weekly breaks which you can spend as you wish in or outside of the customer’s home
  • A clearly defined schedule of working time vs downtime during each day

 

But not only that, we take care of our team throughout the year.  We’re a family and we’re here to look after you today, tomorrow and every other day after that.

Benefits include:

  • Loyalty bonus
  • Refer-a-friend scheme
  • 28 days paid holiday on a pro-rata basis
