Are you looking for rewarding live-in care work with consistent 2-3 week placements across the South West?

Applicants must already hold a valid Right to Work in the UK at the time of application.

Join Consultus Care & Nursing and provide exceptional, person-centred care to clients in their own homes. With over 60 years of experience and a CQC 'Good' rating, we're a family-led company dedicated to supporting both our clients and our carers.

As one of the UK's longest-established live-in care providers, we are proud of our reputation for delivering high-quality live-in care that enables clients to remain safely and comfortably at home.

We are currently recruiting live-in carers for ongoing placements supporting multiple clients across the region.
