Relief Live-In Care Assistant
We are now looking to welcome a Relief Live-In Care Assistant to our team, specifically to cover scheduled breaks for our Live-In Care Assistants.
Our Live-In Carers typically work for approximately three weeks at a time, followed by a one-week break. This role has been created to ensure continuity of care for our clients during those breaks.
We currently have three live-in care packages, offering at least two to three weeks of live-in work per month covering planned breaks. As and when we take on new live-in packages, there will also be the opportunity to introduce you to a permanent live-in placement, should this be of interest.
