As a Live-In Care Assistant, you'll live in your client's home for the duration of your chosen rota pattern (e.g. 1 - 6 weeks) to support them to live with well-being. You'll need to be warm, patient and compassionate with a positive ‘can do’ attitude. Your role will include:

• Providing companionship
• Supporting with personal care
• Helping with mobility and staying active
• Assisting with medication or specialist needs
• Helping around the home with housekeeping and cooking
• Running errands such as shopping or picking up prescriptions
