We know what it takes to deliver exceptional care and look after our staff – we’ve been leaders in the industry over the past 30 years. Find out more about why you should join us.

What the role entails

Being a live-in care assistant means you need to be adaptable, personable but ultimately put others first. You will be living with your customer in their home, but you will have your own bedroom and time off at agreed intervals. Your role will include:

  • Living with a customer in their home
  • Companionship
  • Helping with personal care
  • Helping with mobility around the home
  • Overseeing medication and providing medical support
  • Helping with housework such as cleaning and vacuuming
  • Preparing and cooking meals
  • Running errands such as food shopping or picking up prescriptions

All we need from you is a desire to care for others - we can teach you the rest. Working as a live-in care assistant isn’t always the easiest job, but we promise that it will be one of the most rewarding.

 

How we work

Working for Helping Hands means that you’ll be employed by a fully-regulated company that will look after and nurture you, just like we do our customers. We are registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) who regulate our service and ensure that we are always safe.   As we employ our carers directly, this means you get all the support and benefits of being part of our team including paid holiday, employers pension and the raft of other benefits summarised above.  That means you never have to worry about having to pay any extras which could come out of your earnings.

What we won’t do

We will never ask to you be a self-employed carer as Self-employed carers have to:

  • Pay employment taxes out of their earnings
  • Pay an expensive accountant to manage and complete their tax returns including how and when to pay the taxes due to the Government

 

This is a complex process and “getting it wrong” and falling foul of the tax man is not a pleasant experience!
