As a Live-in Care Assistant, you will live at the client’s home for the duration of your work. Accommodation is provided and you will have your own private bedroom within the property. The assignment will be for a minimum of two weeks at a time; however, we also have longer assignments available too.
As a Live-in Care Assitant, you will be supporting our clients to live an independent life in their own homes by providing care from 7am to 9pm (with a 2 hour break each day), 7 days a week. You will be providing help with day-to-day tasks that may include:
Personal care (showering/bathing, dressing, continence care etc.)
Domestic tasks (laundry, hoovering, washing up, general tidying etc.)
Cooking or preparing meals
Shopping
Medication
Companionship
Due to the complexity of the live-in role, you must have had experience of working in a professional care role previously for at least six months. This could be working in a residential care home or hospital, providing domiciliary care or having done live-in work before.
How we support Live-in Care Assistants
We provide a comprehensive induction training programme before you start your role with us, which covers all mandatory training and a refresher on the practical skills required. We are also able to offer fully funded Health & Social Care Diplomas for anyone wishing to progress further or enhance their skill set.
You will have access to the client’s Care Plan via an app that is downloaded onto your phone, and you will make notes throughout the day. We believe that consistency between client and carer is key, so for this reason we will always try to place you with the same client after you return from a break.

The care assistants are very good – it’s so enjoyable getting out with them. Recently we went to the Marina where I took photos and had lunch. It was super!Mrs D, HoveThis is an outstanding and very well run organisation. Their choice of staff is excellent.Mrs D, HoveI wouldn’t have made the recovery I did from my broken back without The PCC – and I don’t think I could have done it with any other company. I really mean that.Mrs D, HoveAll of The PCC care assistants always respect my dignity and are unlike those from other companies. I would be very sad if I had to leave them.Mrs D, HoveThe PCC looks after us very well. They have found us great care assistants and we are completely happy with them.Mrs D, HoveThe PCC allows me to be safe and secure at night in my own home as I know they are there.Mrs D, Hove
