If you’re looking for a work-life balance tailored to your lifestyle, featuring great breaks for your well-being, we want to connect with you.

We’re actively seeking live-in care assistants to support our clients in and around London and the South East. We’re looking for experienced carers to support our clients with higher care needs, working on average 10 – 12 hours per day on a live-in basis. We’ll ensure you have all the support you need, with generous breaks in placement to enable you to provide the best care possible to your client.

Care assistants typically stay with clients for a minimum of 6 weeks, though many choose to stay longer. Enjoy the support of our expert team, and a generous daily break of at least three hours, enabling you to explore the local community and experience the sites of London during your breaks.

If you’re ready to embrace a fulfilling and flexible caregiving role working in and around London, we’d love to hear from you!

About you

You’ll be a ‘people person’ and enjoy engaging in conversation and creating enjoyable moments with our clients. Whether you have experience as a live-in carer, a support worker, a care assistant in residential or domiciliary care, or as an HCA within the NHS, if you share our dedication to providing quality care, we invite you to apply.

It’s important you have the following:

Minimum of six months’ professional care experience: This should be obtained in any professional care setting.
Documentation of the right to work in the UK: This could include a British passport, settled or pre-settled status through the EU settlement scheme, or a valid visa allowing unrestricted work in the UK. Unfortunately, we cannot facilitate sponsorship or visa requests, including those related to health and social care visas.
Flexibility for travel within London and surrounding areas. The nature of the role requires you to be adaptable and capable of commuting to various client placements.

At Cherished Home Care, companionship is at the heart of what we do. We’re looking for carers who are not just caregivers, but also compassionate companions who build lasting relationships with our clients. If you’re passionate about making a difference through meaningful connections, we’d love to have you on our team.
