Live-in Care Jobs: The light in someone’s day every day!
You might be wondering: what will I be doing? As a live-in care assistant, you quite literally live in your customers’ home. The benefit this brings is that you build a strong relationship with your customer. You will really have a key part in their happiness, well-being and overall independence. The rewards are second to none.
Whilst you live with your customer, you are not expected to work all the time. In fact, your daily work hours are between 8-10 hours per day. You are given your own space in which you can relax and have downtime.
In addition, we take time to understand our customers and our live-in care assistants to ensure they are well matched.
Live-in Care Jobs in Brief
As a live-in care assistant, you will carry out the same tasks as our Care Assistants. The only difference is the added benefit of being in one place with one customer.
So, you will provide bespoke care for your customer, tending to any specific ailments they might have.
You will learn to understand your customers’ needs, preferences and behaviours. This means you will build an immense bond as well as recognise any change in behaviour or decline in health.
Live-in care assistants often work on a rota-basis, which means you can enjoy extended time off too. Click on the link below to find our live-in care jobs.
