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 Taunton, Mid Devon, Sedgemoor & West Somerset, we are 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 Self-employed Live-In Care. Our aim is to help people remain independent in their own homes for as long as possible, providing assistance with everyday tasks and complex care needs. We understand that each customer is unique, which is why every day will be different.

Your Role and Responsibilities as a Self-employed Live-in Care Assistant

As a Self-employed Live-In Care Assistant, you will live with one of our customers or possibly a couple, to provide the best care possible. You will serve as a companion and support their independence, helping them cherish their memories at home.

• Providing personal care duties

• Manual handling, using equipment when required
• Promoting customer health and well-being
• Household chores
• Meal preparation
• Shopping
• Social outings
• Offering companionship

Initially, you will live with our customers for 3 weeks on and 1 week off. Once settled into your role, you may stay for up to 8 consecutive weeks at a time.

Your Experience and Suitability

Previous experience is beneficial but not essential. We prioritize compassion, care, and patience, and we aim to match Care Assistants with customers to ensure compatibility. We seek individuals who genuinely care for our customers as if they were family.

Why Work With Us?

• Competitive pay of GBP750 - GBP800 per week
• A private room during your stay
• Ongoing training and support
• Scheduled daily breaks to relax or explore
• Clear balance between work and downtime
• 24/7 support
