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 territory, 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 branched out to look at Live-In care. Our aim is to keep people independent in their own homes for as long as possible, so we take care of everyday tasks around our customers’ homes all the way through to complex care needs. We appreciate that every customer is different, and this is why every day will be different.

We were awarded Outstanding by CQC and for that reason, we pride ourselves on selecting the very best team. If you are passionate about providing the very best care, then this role could be the role for you.

Your Roles and Responsibilities as a Live-in Care Assistant

As a Live-In Care Assistant you will be living with one of our customers or maybe even a couple to provide the very best care. You are there to be a companion, but also to help them remain independent in their own home and cherish all the memories they’ve made there.

• Administering medication,
• Manual handling, using equipment where required,
• Promoting customer health and well-being, enabling them to live their life to the full.
• Household chores
• Meal preparation
• Shopping
• Social Outings
• Offering our customers companionship

The usual working pattern is one week on, one week off, but this is flexible and can increase to two weeks on, one week off.

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

Previous experience is a bonus but not a requirement. Live-in Care Assistants are matched to our customers to ensure our customers and you get along so the most important thing to us is that you are naturally compassionate, caring and patient. We want a team who genuinely cares for each of our customers as if they were their own family.

Because We Care About You

• Competitive rates of £665 per week.
• Enhanced rates for Bank Holidays
• If you use your own vehicle for customer use, you will be entitled to 23p per mile
• Holiday entitlement
• Your food allowance is included in the household budget. You will also have a separate room to stay and access to a TV and WIFI.
• You will have regular contact with your supervisor along with access to our career pathway allowing you to gain qualifications to grow your knowledge and confidence to provide the very best care to our customers.
• Ongoing training and support
• Regular, scheduled daily and weekly breaks which you can spend as you wish in or outside of the customer’s home
• A clearly defined schedule of working time vs downtime during each day

But not only that, we take care of our team throughout the year, whether it's your birthday, Christmas, awards or simply because it’s a Thursday. We’re a family and we’re here to look after you today, tomorrow and every other day after that.
