Job description

Providing Quality Care

Bluebird Care started as a small family business in 2004, and today we are proud to be one of the largest providers of home care services across the UK. But what makes us different?

Here at Bluebird Care Ipswich, we’re committed to keeping people in the comfort of their own home. We began by offering home care to the elderly in our local area and when this became a success, we expanded to include Live-In care. Our aim is to help people remain independent in their own homes for as long as possible, providing assistance with daily tasks and complex care needs. We understand that every customer is unique, and this is reflected in our tailored approach to care.

Your Roles and Responsibilities as a Live-in Care Assistant

As a Live-In Care Assistant, you will live with one of our customers or possibly a couple, to deliver the highest quality care. You will serve as a companion and support them to maintain their independence and cherish their memories at home.

• Providing personal care duties
• Administering medication
• Manual handling, using equipment where required
• Promoting customer health and well-being, enabling them to live their lives to the fullest
• Household chores
• Meal preparation
• Shopping

Your Experience and Suitability for the Live-in Care Assistant Role
