Job Description:
Providing Quality Care
Bluebird Care started as a small family business in 2004, and today we are proud to be one of the largest providers of home care services across the UK. But what makes us different?
Here at Bluebird Care Taunton, Mid Devon, Sedgemoor & West Somerset, we’re committed to keeping people in the comfort of their own home. We began by offering home care to the elderly in our local area and when this became a success, we branched out to look at Self employedLive-In care. Our aim is to keep people independent in their own homes for as long as possible, so we take care of everyday tasks around our customers’ homes all the way through to complex care needs. We appreciate that every customer is different, and this is why every day will be different.
Your Roles and Responsibilities as a Self employedLive-in Care Assistant
As a Self employedLive-In Care Assistant you will be living with one of our customers or maybe even a couple to provide the very best care. You are there to be a companion, but also to help them remain independent in their own home and cherish all the memories they’ve made there.

* Manual handling, using equipment where required,
* Promoting customer health and well-being, enabling them to live their life to the full.
* Household chores

Your Experience and Suitability for the Self employedLive-in Care Assistant Role
Previous experience is a bonus but not a requirement. Self employedLive-in Care Assistants are matched to our customers to ensure our customers and you get along so the most important thing to us is that you are naturally compassionate, caring and patient. We want a team who genuinely cares for each of our customers as if they were their own family.
Because We Care About You
* Competitive rates of £750 - £800 per week
* A separate room to stay
* Ongoing training and support
* Regular, scheduled daily breaks which you can spend as you wish in or outside of the customer’s home
* A clearly defined schedule of working time vs downtime during each day
