For over 30 years, ENA Care Group has been a family-owned and industry-leading provider of bespoke home care services throughout England and Wales. Specialising in live-in care, we're dedicated to supporting individuals with complex needs, enabling them to remain in the comfort of their own homes. Our person-centred approach means we work closely with every client to tailor care plans that respect their preferences and promote their independence. At ENA, our guiding principles – 'Enabling', 'Nurturing', and 'Aspiring' – inform everything we do, from the support we deliver to clients, to the developmental opportunities we provide our staff. Our team thrives on innovation, compassion, and a strong community ethos, ensuring that everyone who joins us feels valued, motivated, and empowered to reach their full potential.
The Role:
As a Live-in Carer at ENA Care Group, you will play a vital role in enabling our clients to live independently in the comfort of their own homes. Residing in the client's property for 4-12 weeks at a time, you will provide up to 8 hours of personalised, hands-on care per day, supporting with essential daily activities such as personal care, meal preparation, household tasks, and facilitating an active lifestyle.
Some of our clients have complex care needs, which may involve specialised interventions like PEG feeding, medication administration, tracheostomy care, and bladder washouts. While previous experience with complex care is not essential, as we provide comprehensive training, a background in home care would be highly advantageous.
In this rewarding role, you will have 21 hours of protected break time per week, during which you may leave the property to enjoy your own downtime. Outside of these breaks, you will have daytime 'down time' when not delivering hands-on care, but remain available to address any ad hoc requests. Overnight, you will be 'on call for emergencies only'.
Supported by a dedicated Care Manager and our 24/7 on-call service, you will have the confidence, competence, and backing you need to excel in this varied and meaningful work. We are committed to your continuous professional development, providing ongoing face-to-face training delivered by our multi-award-winning team.
