Ongoing advice and support

Values, skills and attributes
What makes an outstanding live-in carer?
Our carers come from all walks of life but what stands out amongst them all is a desire to care and to make a difference in the lives of others. We will provide you with all the training you need.
We are looking for dedicated, compassionate, reliable individuals with strong initiative and a friendly, helpful manner. Being a live-in carer or visiting care assistant is an extremely rewarding position. Every day, when you care for someone, you will be making a huge difference to that person and their family; and sharing some extraordinary moments.
Carers can come from any background with any experience. Our domiciliary carers have been secretaries, bank managers, mothers, fathers, students, nurses, soldiers and teachers. Some have worked as carers previously, for visiting care agencies or care homes, and some have no professional experience at all.
As a Christies Carer you will receive essential support and training to equip you with care skills, confidence and ongoing guidance to help you do the best job you can.
- We offer industry-leading training which is unmatched by other home care providers so we can be confident in offering our clients some of the best carers in the country.
- Our rigorous training courses are COVID safe whilst maintaining the high-quality standards that all of our carers achieve. For full details on what to expect when you join our CPD accredited Induction training programme, read our Live-in Carer Jobs page.
- Our Care Management Team is there to make things easier for you helping you to adjust to life as a carer and supporting you in the day-to-day management of your client’s homecare plan. Whether you need advice about medication, guidance on how to cope with a client’s condition or just a general chat, our Care Management Team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to help you provide the best care, any time you need it
What is a live-in carer's job like?
As a Christies Carer you will live in the home of your client or visit regularly as a visiting care assistant, helping to deliver a person-centred care plan to enable them to live as independently as possible.
Our unique training programme will provide you with the skills and expertise to provide medication management, mobility support, including the use of lifting equipment, personal care and companionship.
You will also be required to undertake light housekeeping duties to include the planning and preparation of meals so, some basic cooking skills are essential. Some of our clients also have pets who you may help care for too but this will be discussed and agreed in advance of your placement.
