Home Instead Ivybridge & South Hams is recruiting a Live‑In Carer for a wonderful elderly gentleman living near the sea in beautiful rural South Devon. He’s sociable, intelligent, charismatic, and well‑loved in his community. As he enjoys getting out and about, we’re looking for a carer who is a driver with their own reliable vehicle. If you’re warm, proactive, and ready to support someone who truly values companionship and independence, we’d love to hear from you.
As a Live-In Carer, you’ll reside in the client’s home and provide a range of professional support services tailored to his needs - including companionship, personal care, medication, household chores and meal preparation - helping the client maintain his independence in the comfort of his own lovely home.
Our Live-In roles are ideal for those living locally, as well as for those seeking a change of scene from outside the local area.
