About the role
Live-in caregivers stay with one family for weeks or months. You wake up in the home, do the morning routine, manage the day with calm rhythm, and watch through the night. We pay for the work, and the family provides board and a private sleeping space. This is the most demanding shape of caregiving and also the most rewarding. You become genuinely part of someone’s last years or a long recovery, and most placements last 3 to 9 months. We give you a relief caregiver for your weekly off, a supervisor who visits every two weeks, and an emergency line that always picks up.
What you'll do
Your day-to-day responsibilities
- Provide continuous day and night care for one patient.
- Personal care, meals, hygiene, mobility, and medication adherence.
- Vitals tracking and reporting via the EzyHelpers app.
- Repositioning every 2–3 hours if patient is bedridden.
- Night-time vigilance with short, scheduled rest cycles.
- Light housekeeping in the patient’s room (not the whole home).
- Family liaison — daily updates, weekly summaries.
- Coordinate with visiting physiotherapist, nurse, or doctor.
- Maintain a clean appearance and follow the household’s quiet hours.
- Train the family on the safe handling protocol on day one.
- Stay within the agreed scope — no babysitting other family members, no cooking for the wider family.
- Honor a minimum 30-day notice if you wish to exit the placement.

- Available for a minimum 3-month commitment per placement.
