Job Description
Live Where Care Matters Most – Become a Live-In Care Assistant
At Home Instead, care is more than a job. It is about helping people feel at home, keeping their dignity, and giving companionship to the people we support.
As a Live-In Carer, you will not just visit. You will become a steady and trusted part of someone’s daily life. Living with your client, you will provide personalised support, share meaningful time together, and help them continue living in the place they love most—their own home.
This role is about more than care; it is about connection. With the support of a caring team, you will build strong relationships, offer comfort and consistency, and make a genuine difference every day—because we believe you can do your best when you feel valued.
Role at a Glance:
Pay: £945 per week
Shift Set Up: Around 10 hours of active care per day, with a 2-hour break where you can leave the property. Outside of these hours, you will remain in the home on-call if needed.
Contract: Zero-hours contract
Work Schedule: 2 Weeks on – 2 Weeks off
Requirements: Full UK driving licence and access to a reliable car
