Live-In Care Assistant – Recruit to Match | Newcastle

We are currently looking to recruit both day and waking nights Live-In Care Assistants to support a customer in Newcastle.

Are you a compassionate, experienced carer looking for a rewarding live-in opportunity with a calm and cooperative customer? We’re recruiting a Live-In Care Assistant for a customer in the suburbs of Newcastle as part of our recruit-to-match approach. This is a dedicated placement for a kind, patient, and attentive carer who can offer personalised, one-to-one care in the comfort of the customer’s own home.

About The Customer

You’ll be supporting a lovely, quiet lady who values her independence and enjoys her own space. She’s well-travelled and open-minded, with a warm nature when she feels like chatting. She lives in a spacious, semi-detached home with off-street parking and uses walking frames and a stairlift to remain mobile — all movements must be supervised for safety.

Care needs include:

• Supervision when mobilising
• Support with showering and personal care
• Full support with medication management
• Meal preparation and light housekeeping (she prefers to graze rather than eat full meals)
• Awareness of piped oxygen in the home from a trip hazard perspective
• Support with memory prompts and maintaining routines
  
  

What We’re Looking For

• Someone kind, respectful, and reliable
• An excellent communicator who respects personal space
• Experience supporting older adults with mobility and memory needs
• Awareness of safety in environments with medical equipment (e.g., oxygen)
• Ability to prepare nutritious light meals and gently encourage food intake
  
  

What We Offer:

• Competitive pay, starting from £800 per week ranging up to £1,000 per week
• Paid mileage at 30p per mile (for agreed customer outings)
• £200 pre-employment completion bonus*
• The opportunity to build meaningful relationships with customers and their families
• Ongoing support and training, ensuring you have the tools you need to deliver exceptional care
• The chance to work in a supportive, community-focused environment with one of the region’s leading care providers

• And much more!
