Our Live-In Care Assistant jobs
Our exceptional team of Bright Carers deliver award-winning, in-home care and companionship. Becoming a Live-in Care Assistant with us can give you a rewarding and fulfilling career in care bringing joy and purpose into people’s later years.
As a salaried Live-in Carer and companion, you will live side by side with your client in their home to provide care and companionship.

With live-in care you don’t have any time restraints, which I love! It means I can still get all those things done throughout the day, but then I also have all the time in the world to just talk and be present with my client.
