What does a live-in carer do?
The primary role of a live-in carer is to enable the person requiring care to continue to enjoy a secure, comfortable and independent life within the familiar surroundings of their own home.
The duties undertaken by a live-in carer will vary in accordance with the daily needs of the person requiring care and include:
- Personal care – includes assistance with dressing, washing and toileting as well as advice, encouragement and emotional and psychological support
- Companionship – sharing time together and providing conversation
- Helping with mobility – assistance in getting around the home
- Household chores – help keep the home clean and tidy
- Preparing and cooking meals – cooking a variety of nutritional meals
- Running errands – assisting with ad hoc tasks, going to the shops, picking up prescriptions
- Medications – encouraging, reminding, assisting, recording and giving medicines
- Liaise with medical professionals, co-ordinate appointments, reporting new / changed symptoms
Well-trained
24/7 support
Being well-trained is where we come in. We value any applicants with previous nursing or care experience but provide full training prior to placement and in the client’s home. All our carers are employed by us which guarantees unparalleled 24/7 support from our management team.
Our rates of pay are amongst the best in the industry. A driving license, the ability to cook fresh, nourishing meals and a DBS certificate on the update service is advantageous. If you do not have a UK base, we can provide subsidised accommodation for your mandated respite and breaks in our dedicated Carers House.
