Live-In Carer Opportunity
We're looking for a kind and dedicated Live-In Carer to support Jill, our client living with a spinal injury in Windsor.
This would suit someone who is empathetic but also confident and level-headed. There can be busy or stressful moments, so it's important that you don't become easily flustered or discouraged and can maintain a calm, professional approach.
You'll be helping with everyday life, including preparing meals, laundry, cleaning and general household duties, alongside providing our client's day-to-day care and support.
You should be someone who learns quickly, uses initiative and is comfortable working in a busy environment.
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.
