Live-in Care Assistant – Flexible Work Pattern
Right at Home Medway | Medway Towns & Surrounding Areas
Are you an experienced carer looking for variety in your work and the chance to make a real difference? Right at Home Medway, an award-winning, locally owned homecare provider, is looking for a flexible Live-in Care Assistant to join our friendly and supportive team.
This is not your typical live-in role – we’re looking for someone happy to fit in where needed, with the flexibility to provide:
Live-in care support
Occasional overnight stays
Domiciliary (visiting) care in the local area
A driver is preferred, and we’re happy to discuss flexible working patterns that suit both you and our clients.
What You'll Do
Each placement varies based on client needs, but your role may include:
Morning and bedtime routines
Personal care (light to moderate assistance)
Medication support
Companionship (hobbies, outings, appointments, shopping)
Dementia care
Meal preparation and light housekeeping
Providing care in both live-in and visiting capacities
Rotas are based on client needs and your availability – examples include one week on/one week off, or longer placements with breaks in between.
What We're Looking For
Previous care experience is essential – please only apply if you have a background in care
Live-in care experience is preferred, but not essential
Ability to adapt to various care settings (live-in, overnight, domiciliary)
Mature, caring nature with a flexible attitude
Full legal right to work in the UK (we cannot offer sponsorship)
Confidence in the kitchen – you'll be cooking meals regularly
Updated DBS (or willingness to complete one)
A driver is preferred, but not a deal-breaker
