Live in Carer

Location: Hook, Hampshire

Weekly Rate: £896.46

Hours of work: We are recruiting two Live-in Carers to work on a one-month-on, one-month-off rota, on a continuing basis. Alternative working patterns may be considered for the right candidates.

Vacancy Type: Full time

I am a 49-year-old man living in the peaceful town of Hook, Hampshire, and I am looking for a compassionate and experienced Live-in Carer to join my small, dedicated care team. I have complex care needs and use a wheelchair. While I need full-time support, I am passionate about living life on my own terms. I seek stability in my care arrangements, ensuring my needs are met with minimal disruptions. Maintaining my independence, well-being, and enjoying the things I love, such as spending time with my family, is incredibly important to me.

The right person for this role will have a genuine caring nature, be respectful, patient, and able to adapt to my preferred way of doing things. A good sense of humour and a willingness to learn are key, along with the confidence to use your own initiative and work independently when needed. You will be taking direction not just from me, but also from my family and existing team, so being a team player is essential.

Day-to-day, you will support me with all aspects of personal care, medication, food preparation, household tasks, and getting out and about in the community. You will always be on hand to ensure I am safe, supported, and comfortable. This is a live-in role, and when covering, you will have your own room within a calm and welcoming home environment. You must be a confident driver that is able to drive an automatic car as you will be using the car to assist with community access.

We are looking for someone with previous care experience, who is reliable, respectful, and able to fit in with the existing team. You will need to be adaptable, ready to step in when needed, and happy to work collaboratively with both the family and the lead PA.

ABOUT YOU

You are someone who truly cares about making a difference in someone's life. You have a calm, patient, and respectful approach, and you are able to build meaningful, professional relationships rooted in trust and consistency. You are confident in delivering high-quality, person-centred care and understand the importance of supporting someone to live life their way. You will need to have a strong passion for cooking and a keen interest in nutrition. You will be reliable, proactive, and able to think on your feet. While you are comfortable working independently, you are also a team player, able to take direction from myself or my family, work collaboratively with my family, and communicate effectively.

You will need to have previous care experience, ideally in a similar live-in role, and feel comfortable providing personal care, administering medication, and assisting with mobility and household tasks. A sense of humour and a willingness to learn are a must. I value a Live-in Carer who can make me feel at ease and be a positive presence in my home. You must be a driver that can drive an automatic car. You will need a full UK licence, as you will be using my car to support me in the community. Most importantly, you will treat my home with respect and see this as more than a job. It's a partnership in helping me maintain my independence, well-being, and quality of life. If you are someone who truly wants to make a difference and be part of something meaningful, I would love to hear from you.
