Job Description

Self-employed or PAYE | Full-time | 24/7 Live-in Care Position (12 mth contract) | Private Household

We are seeking a dedicated and compassionate Live-in Carer / Personal Assistant for a 24/7 live-in care role, supporting our father who is recovering from a major stroke. This is a private, long-term position based in the Styvechale area of Coventry, close to Memorial Park, in a peaceful, family-oriented bungalow shared with our mother.

About the Role

Our father has been bedbound for several months but is making steady and encouraging progress. He is currently practising walking with a frame and is actively supported by NHS therapists. He is fully alert and communicative.

This is a 24/7 live-in position, meaning your presence and availability are required both day and night. While our father generally sleeps through the night, overnight presence is essential for peace of mind and any occasional assistance.

You will be part of a supportive care network that also includes:

• Four daily agency care visits (08:30, 12:00, 16:00, and 19:00), where you will act as one of two carers per visit, following a care plan
• Regular visits from five daughters, with one typically present most of the week

Household Context

Our mother lives at the property and is recovering well from a knee replacement. She is mostly independent, prepares meals, and helps manage the home. Light, occasional support may be required.

You will not be expected to cook for the family, but you’ll have your access to kitchen to prepare your own meals for yourself.

Accommodation Provided

As part of this live-in arrangement, you will have access to:

• Your own private bedroom with double bed and dressing table
• A separate shower room
• A private reception/lounge area with television
• Shared kitchen access

Ideal Candidate

We are looking for someone who is:

• Experienced in live-in care or personal assistant roles (essential)
• Respectful of muslim culture and Muslim-preferred 
• Must be a resident in Coventry or nearby
• Drivers licence is preferable with a car
• Comfortable with a 24/7 live-in care arrangement
• Kind, attentive, and confident supporting mobility, personal care, and companionship
• Able to collaborate with both professional and family carers
• Medical experience or familiarity with stroke rehabilitation preferred
• Eligible to work in the UK, with DBS check, references, and ideally a photo CV

Terms

• Full-time, 24/7 live-in role
• Competitive pay (based on experience and employment status – self-employed or PAYE)
• 2-hour daily break
• Holidays and sick pay for PAYE candidates
• Start date flexible for the right candidate

If you are an experienced, thoughtful carer looking to join a warm, supportive and loving home environment, please get in touch.

To apply, please send your CV (with references and photo if available), your availability, and a brief cover note explaining your interest in this role
