Live-in Care Assistant

Providing Quality Care
Our client is committed to keeping people in the comfort of their own home. They began by offering home care to the elderly in their local area and when this became a success, they branched out to look at Live-In care. Their aim is to keep people independent in their own homes for as long as possible, so they can take care of everyday tasks around their customers’ homes all the way through to complex care needs. They appreciate that every customer is different, and this is why every day will be different.

Your Roles and Responsibilities as a Live-in Care Assistant
As a Live-In Care Assistant, you will be living with one of their 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.

• Manual handling, using equipment where required
• Promoting customer health and well-being, enabling them to live their life to the full

To begin with, you will live with customers for 3 weeks on and one week off as a suggestion but once you’re embedded into your role as a live-in care assistant, you will be able to stay for a maximum of 8 working weeks at a time.

Your Experience and Suitability for the Live-in Care Assistant Role
Previous experience is a bonus but not a requirement.
