Live-in care is an alternative to other care solutions such as care homes, for those who have long term health needs. To many older people, or those with life-limiting conditions, there’s nowhere better to live than the comfort of their own home and that is what live-in care allows them to enjoy. Surrounded by their memories and supported by a live-in carer, every single client gets to live their very best life in the place they love most. People working in live-in care come from many different backgrounds, typically they have worked as domiciliary carers, care assistants, healthcare assistants or in nursing home jobs. Live-in care is about individualised support. Our live-in carers move in with our clients for the duration of a rota. A rota can be 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off but we have a range of rotas to choose from. A client typically has a team of two carers who take it in turn to live with them, and when one professional live-in carer arrives at the client’s home, they have a handover with the previous carer. We aim to keep the same team with the client for the duration of us working with the client, and that allows our carers and clients to build up a real connection. Live-in care means having time to get to know your client, time to help them enjoy life and time to provide outstanding care completely tailored to their needs and life. As a professional live-in carer you provide both care and companionship to clients - providing assistance with daily activities, personal care, or support in managing specialist conditions such as dementia – all in the comfort of their own home. All clients have a care plan which you will access online via the Chrome book that we provide all our professional live-in carers with. Each carer has a Care Manager who is responsible for a region and who will check in with both you and your client on a regular basis. “The Good Care Group gives you the opportunity to build a long-lasting, worthwhile relationship with your client, when in the past you may have had to spread yourself a little too thinly’.’ - Daniel, The Good Care Group Book a call with the Recruitment Team today to discuss your live-in carer opportunity "Having worked in a variety of care settings over the years, it's live-in care that’s by far given me the greatest job satisfaction. More importantly, I’ve seen first-hand how having the time to build relationships with my clients is central to enhancing their sense of wellbeing and happiness later in life. Live-in care gives me the opportunity to do what inspired me to care in the first place: seeing my work make a real difference to an individual’s life as opposed to them just being another number on my to do list." - Marion, Professional Live-in Carer Why should I consider live-in care jobs with The Good Care Group?
