If you are looking for self-employed live-in carer opportunities, join
Country Cousins, one of the UK's longest-serving live-in care agencies. As
a trusted care agency we have been sourcing live-in carers for our clients
since 1959.
Get paid up to £1050 per week.
As a Country Cousins live-in carer, you will be responsible for working
independently and unsupervised in the client’s home, and so the ability to

in seamlessly with our clients' home lives. With an excellent disposition,
you will have the ability to become a friend and companion to your clients.
You may be called upon to provide Alzheimer’s or dementia care and quite
often you will need to work alongside other care agencies or medical
professionals including Marie Curie, Macmillan, and district nurses.
