I share my days with a remarkable 90-year-old lady celebrating life. I do the housekeeping and cook delicious food. The Dorset Apple Cake is her favourite treat! After three weeks of devoted service, I take one week off, whether for a rejuvenating holiday or exploring the charming towns across the UK.\"

Your Role as a Live-In Carer

You’ll support clients in their Taunton homes, improving their quality of life through personalised care and companionship.

Your daily duties include:

• Personal care – washing, dressing, toileting, maintaining dignity


• Medication administration – safely managing prescriptions and accurate MAR charts


• Meal planning and cooking – preparing nutritious food


• Companionship – meaningful conversations, activities, accompanying to appointments


• Light housekeeping – keeping the home clean and safe


• Shopping and errands – prescriptions, weekly shopping

You may support someone living with dementia, recovering from a stroke, managing Parkinson’s disease, or receiving palliative care.

You’ll also become a trusted companion. The small details matter - how someone takes their tea, their favourite music, or simply being a reassuring presence.
