Job description
Join Nurseplus as a Live-in Carer – Make a Real Difference in Your Community Every Day
Are you passionate about making a positive impact in the lives of vulnerable people in your community? As a Live-in Carer with Nurseplus Care at home, you'll have the unique opportunity to provide outstanding, compassionate care directly in the comfort of clients' homes. You will effectively become part of the family and everyday life, with the role encompassing everything from companionship, personal care, managing complex care needs and medication requirements.
Your role as a Live-in Carer will play a pivotal part in enabling clients to continue to remain independent and enjoy fulfilled lives and offer peace of mind to relatives that their loved ones are safe and well.
- Continuity of Care: You'll be working in one place, an average of 8-10 hours per day, so you can make a real difference.
- Weekly Pay & Competitive Rates: Earn between £750 to £850 per week, with weekly pay.
- Travel & Food Allowance: You'll receive up to £50 per week for food, as well as £150 per travel allowance per booking.
- Tailored Client Matching: We believe in matching you with clients that align with your skills and passions. Whether you're looking to support individuals with mental health needs, learning disabilities, children, or older adults, we work to pair you with the clients you feel most comfortable and confident working with.
- Paid Industry-Leading Training: We pay for you to attend our comprehensive, industry-leading training that's in line with the Care Certificate and Core Skills Training Framework, tailored to help you grow your skills, whether you're new to care or have years of experience.
- Ongoing Development: Benefit from continuous support and development opportunities, including in-house courses and funded qualifications like NVQ Levels 2 and 3.
- Blue Light Card: Enjoy thousands of discounts on the high street and online with eligibility for a Blue Light Card.
As a Live-in Carer, your role is vital to improving the quality of life of those you support. You'll provide personal care, assist with nutritional needs, administer medication, and offer companionship – ensuring clients feel valued and cared for in their own homes. You will be working in one household, typically with one or two clients for the duration of the specified shift pattern as below.
Placements can range from 2 to 12 weeks with the same home, dependent on client needs and flexibility. Some examples of working patterns and pay are:
1. 2 weeks on / 1 week off (35 weeks per year, with 17 weeks off!)
2. 12 weeks on / 1 week off (48 weeks per year)
- You must be over 18 years old and have the right to work in the UK.
- A full UK driving licence is essential, with access to your own vehicle required.
- Strong communication skills and a good standard of English are required.
- You'll need an enhanced DBS, which you can apply for upon registration.
