Live-In Care Jobs Frequently Asked Questions

Live‑In Nursing involves living in a client’s home and providing round‑the‑clock clinical and personal support. This can include medication administration, wound care, PEG management, catheter care, monitoring long‑term conditions, and offering reassurance throughout the day and night.

Yes. Live‑In Nursing roles require NMC registration and relevant nursing experience. We welcome applications from RGN, RMN, and RNLD professionals with strong clinical skills and a passion for providing high‑quality care at home.

Live‑In Nurses support people with complex or ongoing health needs, including neurological conditions, spinal injuries, dementia, palliative needs, long‑term chronic conditions, and those recovering from surgery or hospital discharge.

Placements vary depending on the client’s needs. Some roles are short‑term (1–2 weeks), while others may last several months. You’ll always be informed about the expected length before accepting a placement.

You’ll have your own private room in the client’s home, along with access to kitchen and bathroom facilities. We ensure all placements provide safe, comfortable living arrangements so you can rest properly during breaks.

You’ll receive ongoing support from our clinical and care management teams, including guidance, regular check‑ins, and help with any issues that arise during your placement. We’re here to ensure you feel safe, confident, and valued in every role.

We look for nurses with strong clinical skills, experience in community or complex care settings, and confidence working autonomously. Experience in palliative care, neurological conditions, or long‑term conditions is highly valued, but we welcome nurses from all backgrounds who are passionate about high‑quality home‑based care.

At Medicare People, we support continuous professional development. Live‑In Nurses have access to ongoing clinical training, refresher courses, condition‑specific modules, and guidance from our senior clinical leads. We help you grow your skills while delivering exceptional care.

You’ll typically work on a rotational basis, such as two weeks on and two weeks off, depending on the client’s needs. We discuss your preferences in advance and match you with placements that align with your availability and work‑life balance.

Your primary focus is clinical and personal care. Light domestic tasks related to the client’s wellbeing may be required, but you will not be expected to perform heavy housework or non‑care‑related duties. Your role centres on delivering safe, professional nursing care.

You’re never on your own. Our care and clinical teams are available whenever you need guidance, whether it’s a clinical decision, a safeguarding concern, or practical help. We stay closely connected with our Live‑In Nurses throughout every placement.
