We’re always looking for dedicated, self-employed carers
Not only must you be a competent carer, but you should also be able to fit in seamlessly with our clients’ home life. With an excellent disposition, you will have the ability to become a friend and companion to your clients’.
As a Country Cousins live-in carer, you will be responsible for working independently and unsupervised in the client’s home, and so the ability to cope with various degrees of dependency and medical needs is paramount. You may be called upon to provide Alzheimer’s or dementia care and quite often you will need to work alongside other care agencies or medical professionals including Marie Curie, Macmillan, and district nurses.
In return, you will join a community of over 1,500 live-in carers, and receive the backing of one of the UK’s longest-serving live-in care agencies. We currently place over 400 live-in carers every week in assignments all over the UK and so offer you the opportunity of flexible working alongside great support from our central office team.
If you share our passion for care, then we would love to hear from you!
