Radfield Home Care Wakefield & Huddersfield is part of a nationally recognised, multi-award-winning care network. We provide relationship-led, high-quality care that allows people to live independently in their own homes - and we’re looking for individuals who genuinely care.
The Role
We are recruiting for a Live-In Care Professional to support a client within their own home on a long-term basis. The client is living with Dementia and is partially sighted, which means this role requires a high level of patience, understanding, and attentive, person-centred care. You will be working closely not only with the client, but also alongside their partner, who is actively involved in their care.
Responsibilities
- Personal care and daily living support
- Medication support
- Meal preparation and light household duties
- Companionship and emotional support
- Supporting the client with orientation, reassurance, and safety due to cognitive and visual needs
- Supporting the client to attend appointments and community activities
This role requires someone who is calm, observant, adaptable, and confident supporting clients with complex needs, while building a trusting relationship within the home.
Working Pattern & Flexibility
2 weeks on / 2 weeks off rota. You will reside in the client’s home during your working period. Carers are typically entitled to a 2-hour daily break. However, due to the nature of the client’s needs, this role requires flexibility:
- Some days may require increased support with shorter breaks
- Other days will offer extended rest periods to balance this
We ensure carers receive appropriate rest overall, but the day-to-day structure may vary, so flexibility and understanding are essential.
What We’re Looking For
- Reliable, committed, and able to work independently
- Compassionate and genuinely motivated to support others
- Calm, patient, and confident supporting clients living with dementia
- Respectful, open-minded, and comfortable working in a shared home environment
- Adaptable and able to manage changing routines
- Emotionally resilient and professional
Additional requirements:
- Experience supporting clients living with Dementia (essential)
- Experience supporting individuals who are visually impaired (desirable)
- Driving licence and access to a vehicle (essential)
- Right to work in the UK (no sponsorship available)
- Non-smoker
Pay & Benefits
- £927 per week (live-in rate)
- £50 per week food allowance
- Paid, stable rota (2 weeks on / 2 weeks off)
- Ongoing support from a dedicated office team
- Training and development opportunities
- Supportive, professional working environment
Our Recruitment Process
Due to the nature of this placement, our recruitment process is more personalised:
- Initial interview with our office team
- Second-stage interview with the client’s partner
The final decision will involve the client’s partner, as it is important the successful candidate is the right fit for the household.
Why Join Us
At Radfield, we don’t just care for our clients - we care for our team. You’ll be part of a supportive, professional environment where your work is valued, recognised, and makes a genuine difference every day.
