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.

Patty Lloyd

With nearly 20 years of experience in recruitment and three and a half years as a live-in carer with Consultus, I’ve been fortunate to step into the role of mentor and recruitment agent. I’m honored to guide those who are passionate about caring for others, helping them pursue careers that allow vulnerable individuals to remain in their own homes and maintain their routines, while providing peace of mind to them and their families with the support of a live-in carer. At the same time, I’m here to support carers by offering a listening ear, practical advice, and escalating concerns when needed to ensure their well-being as they do the work they love. For assistance, you can reach Patricia, also known as Patty, on +27 83 282 8784 (South Africa), +44 7901 310939 (UK), or via email at p.lloyd@consultuscare.com.
