At St Jude's Care, we're looking for a compassionate and dedicated Female Live-in Carer to support a client in the Bristol area. This is not a rushed domiciliary care role with back-to-back visits. It's an opportunity to provide truly person-centred support, helping someone live safely, independently, and confidently in their own home.

You'll become a trusted source of support, encouragement, and companionship, helping our client enjoy everyday life while remaining at the heart of their family and community.

• Work alongside family members to provide personalised care that truly meets individual needs

Who We're Looking For

We're seeking someone who brings not only experience but kindness, patience, and a positive attitude.

You will be:

• Warm, caring, and naturally supportive

• Calm and confident in challenging situations

• Comfortable working independently and using your initiative

• Respectful of privacy, dignity, and personal choice

• Professional while being approachable and friendly

• Passionate about delivering exceptional person-centred care
