What to Expect From a Reading Live In Care Job
-
Guardian Angel Carers in Reading provides outstanding quality care and rewards the commitment and compassion our CareAngels provide with competitive pay rates, ongoing professional development support and a sector-leading rewards package to help every carer progress and further their career.
Many live-in care roles are based on the unique needs and care required by people or couples with specific vulnerabilities. We focus on value-based recruitment to match appropriate carers with each service user.
-
No two days are the same, and as a live-in carer, you need to be responsive, flexible, and able to adjust to the needs of the client, whether that involves cooking healthy meals, supporting a client when attending days out, or following an evening and morning routine.
Live-in care placements are often suited to both drivers and non-drivers since the long-term, ongoing nature of live-in care negates the need to be able to travel between posts within a single shift.
Qualities We Look for in Live-In Care Job Applicants

- Kindness, warmth and a cheerful nature; all criteria that mean experienced or aspiring carers have the natural capabilities so important to delivering true person-first care.
Live-in carers provide continuity, reassurance, comfort and professional assistance, and duties are varied, from preparing a nutritious evening meal to be enjoyed in friendly company to supporting individuals who wish to maintain independence and dignity while living in their own homes.
