What is expected from a live-in carer?
While live-in care is a rewarding job, there are a few characteristics we look for in our carers to ensure they are a good match for our clients.
Listen and be patient
Saffron Support ensures that all carers listen to clients needs and make sure they are met in order to maintain a comfortable environment for the client. Various shifts are available depending on your availability which will be discussed at the interview stage.
Hygienic
Keeping yourself and the working environment clean is crucial when looking after clients.
Hands-on
Saffron Support expects all their carers to be open to any task on the clients care plan. This can vary between light housework, medication administration, supporting with moving and positioning, personal care or making a couple cups of tea!
Respectful
Our clients have our utmost respect and this is extremely important to us when carers are supporting them. Some tasks may be sensitive to the client so we must make sure they are respected, comfortable and calm when assisting them.
