Female Live-in Care Assistant – Driver Required

Location: Nationwide – you can live anywhere in the UK

Pay: £770–£800 per week

Food allowance: £40

Working pattern: Minimum two-week live-in placement, normally followed by two weeks off

Travel: Travel costs and mileage to placements are paid

Experience required: At least six months of UK-based care experience

Visa sponsorship: We cannot offer visa sponsorship for this position

Please read the essential requirements before applying

We urgently need experienced female Live-in Care Assistants who can drive.

This position is open to female applicants only because the client has specifically requested a female care professional due to the personal and intimate nature of the care being provided. This is an occupational requirement permitted under Schedule 9, Part 1 of the Equality Act 2010.

You must hold a full UK driving licence and be confident and happy to drive the client wherever needed, including to appointments, activities, shopping trips and social outings.

You will not necessarily need to provide or use your own car, as a suitable vehicle may be available at the placement. However, being willing and able to drive the client is an essential requirement.

How live-in care works

This is a genuine live-in care position. During each placement, you will live in the client’s home from Monday to Sunday, with your own private room and appropriate daily breaks.

For our ongoing care packages, you must be able to complete a minimum two-week placement without returning home, normally working a two weeks on, two weeks off rotation.

We occasionally have one-week respite placements available, but these are not guaranteed. Applicants must therefore be prepared to work a minimum of two consecutive weeks for our ongoing packages.

You can be based anywhere in the UK, provided you are willing and able to travel to placements across the UK. We pay agreed travel costs and mileage associated with getting to and from your placement.

In addition to your weekly pay, you will receive a £40 food allowance.

About us

We are CCH. With 14,000 colleagues across 32 care companies, we have one purpose: to make sure no one in need of care is ever forgotten or left behind.

At Noble Live-In Care, part of CCH, we live by our values of Community, Courage and Heart. We’re looking for compassionate, capable and experienced people to join our nationwide live-in care team.
