The full job description

Not just a care role. A place where you’ll quietly change a family’s world.

Live-in Carer (Female) – Bristol
1 week on / 1 week off rota | £800 per week

Imagine being the person who brings calm to chaos, reassurance after seizures, and consistency to a young family who rely on it more than most.

This isn’t a “job you clock into.”
It’s a role where your presence shapes someone’s safety, confidence, and everyday life.

You’ll be supporting a remarkable lady living with epilepsy — and in doing so, help create a steady, happy environment for her two children to grow up in.

The impact you’ll have

  • Being the calm, capable presence during and after seizures
  • Helping a mum stay independent in her own home
  • Creating a safe, structured, and reassuring routine for the whole household
  • Quietly becoming someone the family trusts, relies on… and values

Why this role stands out

  • A rota that gives you real balance – one week fully immersed, one week fully yours
  • Daily protected downtime – because your wellbeing matters too
  • £800 per week + up to £100 travel allowance
  • £500 “bring someone brilliant with you” bonus
  • Free DBS + full Care Certificate training
  • 24-hour support – you’re never on your own
  • A private, comfortable living space during placements

What you’ll bring

  • Experience supporting epilepsy, including seizure recognition and aftercare
  • Confidence (or willingness to train) in rescue medication
  • A calm, steady approach in high-pressure moments
  • Strong safeguarding awareness, particularly in family environments
  • The ability to balance professionalism with warmth — being part of the home, not just in it
  • Everyday practical skills (cooking, housekeeping, supporting routines)


This is a genuine occupational requirement for a female carer, in line with Schedule 9 of the Equality Act 2010.

If you’re reading this and thinking:
“That sounds like me — I could genuinely make a difference there…”

Don’t just move on.

👉 Be the reason this family sleeps easier at night.
👉 Be the steady hand in the moments that matter most.
👉 Be remembered for something that actually meant something.
