Company Description
Home Instead Swindon & Vale of White Horse are a well-established, award-winning home care provider, supporting older people to live well and independently in the place they love most - their own home. We are proud to be a CQC ‘Outstanding’ rated provider, delivering exceptional care across Swindon, Highworth, Faringdon, the Vale of White Horse, and surrounding villages.
Job Description
Are you a live-in carer looking for a new client? Are you wanting to work for an Outstanding company who really care?!
We are looking for a Live-in Care Assistant to support one of our current clients whose needs are changing.
She is a really lovely lady and she lives with Dementia, so experience in dementia would be beneficial.
This would be a slightly unusual placement in that the client is only requiring support Thursday - Sunday, every week. Due to this, it could be a client where one live-in carer could do all the days and no rotation would necessarily be required.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This lady has 2 sons who live in Swindon and visit regularly, and in the days we are not there, one of her son's will be there to support her.
The support would involve general companionship, shopping, home help, medication support, and continence support.
She is independent with showering, though may need some prompting to have this. She really enjoys listening to music, visiting local garden centres, and doing some jigsaw puzzles/painting.
Although this placement would be in a village, this is very well connected to Faringdon and Swindon via bus routes, and there are a lot of things going on in the village. Someone who drives with their own vehicle would be beneficial but not mandatory for this placement.
Benefits
As a Live-in Care Assistant with us, we can offer you:
- £130 per day and £195 per day on a bank holiday
- Optional food supplement while in placement
- Full, award-winning training provided
- Clear career pathways and qualifications (NVQs)
- Pension scheme
- Referral scheme – earn money for your friends joining the team and referring clients to us
- Access to your pay ahead of payday with Paywise+
- Free Blue Light Card and access to discounted fuel
- Be part of a close-knit team that truly supports each other
- Make real, lasting connections with clients and their families
