Welcome to this website which has been prepared for people from overseas wanting to find out about live-in care work in the UK. You may have seen a Care Agency’s advert or heard from a friend that there are plenty of opportunities for this type of work. If you are a little daunted by the thought of working abroad, this website is for you. Independent of any Live-in Care Agency, the site is a good place to start gathering information and will give you practical answers to many of your questions. It includes contact details for some of the agencies, a guide to the preparations you will have to make, tips about doing live-in care work which are based on comments by other Carers and general information about the UK scene. To make it easier to navigate, the website is divided into four sections related to your progress towards taking up live-in care work:
Into caring – What you will need and a guide to the preparations that you will need to make before leaving home.
Care Agencies – How they operate, your acceptance interview and a list of some of the many Live-In Care Agencies in the UK.
Your assignment – Accepting the care assignment and some comments on caring for your Client and also looking after yourself.
UK life – General information about life in UK which is relevant to you as a Carer.
