Live-in care jobs

Experience is not always necessary as we are prepared to offer successful candidates care assistant training for free.  It’s important that you have a desire to care for people and improve their quality of life. We expect a high standard of English language – written and spoken and strong communication skills.

We are looking for caring, compassionate and friendly individuals who are trustworthy, patient and kind.  Being a care assistant requires reliable, motivated people, who are resourceful in their approach to caring for others. Often you will need to adapt to situations as they arise but we are here to support you and ensure you have all the backing and reassurance to meet any challenges you may face. Ultimately, we need people who have a good heart.

Live-in care assistants give the client control over their care, helping to enable day-to-day living from simple chores, moving around, shopping and providing meals and other domestic tasks. Sometimes the most important part of your role can be offering companionship. Having someone to talk to, and share a cup of tea with is a key part of the care you offer. Some of your duties will include:

• Personal care – washing and bathing, dressing and continence support if needed.
• Carrying out a care plan – administering and overseeing medication
• Mobility assistance – some clients require help to move around their home
• Domestic tasks – keeping the home clean, laundry and ironing
• Food preparation and cooking
• Every day odd-jobs – running small errands or helping with tasks such as collecting prescriptions

Every live-in care placement takes into consideration the needs of the client and therefore is tailored to suit their requirements. Your placement will likely last for a period of weeks, after which there is the opportunity to take a break and enjoy a phase of leave.

Flexible working patterns are possible during extended placements, and permanent placements are also available.

We offer competitive rates of pay, of up to £695 per week (above average in our sector). Your accommodation and food will also be provided whilst in placement.
