Applying from South Africa
If you are living in South Africa and are interested in a live-in care job in the UK, get in touch and find out how you can start a career with one of the leading live-in care providers in the UK.
Living in South Africa and travelling to the UK for work may not be something that you have thought of. However, we have many carers who do just that. Our Overseas Agents have worked in the UK as live-in carers themselves, so they have a huge amount of experience. The advantage of being a carer is that you can choose when you wish to work.
If you are compassionate, caring and thrive on really helping others this opportunity could really change your life. You will also receive training from our award-winning in-house training centre and accommodation in one of our beautiful carer houses.
Our Recruitment team will guide you on your journey to becoming a great care professional. You will be their number one priority.
Recruitment process
Our Overseas Recruitment Agents have a wealth of knowledge in preparing you for a career as a live-in carer, and will support you throughout the application process. When you arrive in the UK, you will continue to receive support from the UK Recruitment and DBS team, and our experienced Care Consultants, who all understand the journey you have taken before your arrival to the UK.

What our carers say
"I can honestly say that Lynda guided me step by step and constantly reassured me with all the questions I asked. If I hadn't had Lynda's guidance I would have been totally overwhelmed. I have now been working as a live-in carer for 5 months and I am really enjoying my new career!"

What does a live-in carer do?
Live-in care is care provided by highly trained live-in carers who stay with the person receiving care in their own home, remaining on-hand to provide professional, bespoke care around-the-clock. This type of care is ideal for people who need support with the activities and tasks of daily life, care with health or complex conditions that impact their ability to live independently, or simply for someone who needs companionship and social support.
