Live In Care Assistant

At Home Instead, we offer industry-leading care and support to adults in their own homes in the local area. Our Care Assistants benefit from award-winning training and ongoing support throughout their career journey, with options for accredited training in Dementia, Parkinson's and End of Life Care. We are committed to changing the face of ageing through delivering quality care to our clients and best-in-class education to our Care Professionals.

We match our live-in Care Assistants to our client's needs, with mutual interests and hobbies to help build bonds of trust and enable us to provide personalised support. We're looking for compassionate individuals to provide dedicated live-in care to promote our clients' independence and dignity at home. 

Your primary responsibilities will include: 

• Providing live-in care in client's homes. 
• Offer companionship, conversation and accompanying clients to take part in their chosen activities. 
• Support the client to be an active member in their care, involving them in a variety of activities (for example, picking out clothes and preparing meals). 
• Performing light housekeeping tasks around the client's home. 
• Help with shopping and deliveries. 
• Assist with bathing, dressing and grooming and support with continence care. 
• Providing medication reminders or assisting with medication administration.

Within the client's home, you will be provided with a private room with a TV as well as access to Wi-Fi. Food will be provided by the client (or a food allowance arranged if preferred). Each day will include a two-hour break for the live-in Care Assistant, provided either by the client's family or another member of the client's care team. 

On average, you will be likely to spend 8 hours in a 24-hour period carrying out your care duties as a live-in Care Assistant.
