Live-in Care Assistant

Paragon Home Healthcare is seeking experienced Live-in Carers to provide specialized spinal cord injury care for our clients in and around London. Our clients reside in their own homes or independent accommodations, all conveniently accessible by public transport.

Some clients have pets (cats or dogs) for companionship. Confident drivers are preferred, as you may need to assist clients with transportation to gym sessions, local visits, or appointments.

With this client, you'll be engaged in a 2-week live-in assignment, succeeded by a 2-week rest period. Following 1-week rest, you have the option to work with another client for 1 week. Alternatively, if eligible, you can be a part of our Standby rota, working conveniently from home. To support your journey, we provide comprehensive training, equipping you to excel in your caregiving role.
