Description
Live-in care in Tetbury means living with someone in their home to support daily routines, personal care and companionship around the clock with agreed breaks. These roles suit carers who want continuity, deeper relationships and the practicality of a single placement rather than shifting rotas. Many carers travel from across the country for live-in placements in Tetbury and the surrounding area, bringing experience and calm to family homes in Gloucestershire.
Right now, 135 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
What the work looks like
You’ll support a client’s day-to-day life: help with personal care, medication prompts, meals, mobility, household tasks and meaningful companionship. Live-in care is about being present for routines, nights and unexpected moments while taking agreed breaks and time off. Carers often stay for weeks or months — continuity that benefits both the person needing care and the carer who prefers deeper, consistent work.
Who this suits
This is for experienced, reliable carers who want to move away from rota-driven agency work and take more control: choose clients, set working patterns and build ongoing relationships. If you enjoy hands-on care, patience and practical problem solving, live-in roles in and around Tetbury can be very rewarding.
