A Career with Consultus as a Live-in Nurse

A career in live-in nursing is not only rewarding, but also life changing.


As a live-in nurse, you will provide one-to-one nursing to our clients in the comfort of their own homes. You will be there to offer support to enable them to remain living as independently as possible in their own homes. Your care, companionship and expertise will be valued. As a nurse your dedication will support our clients to get the most out of life, and offer peace of mind to their families.


Consultus offers you a career to suit your lifestyle. Your availability is up to you; choose when and where you would like to work with the benefit of UK travel allowances. 

You can expect to earn a basic weekly pay of £1,460 per week plus additional earnings for nights, weekends and overtime.

Every carer will have their own private room in the client's home, Wi-Fi access and, in some cases, the use of a vehicle for eligible drivers.


You will be matched carefully to your clients so the time you spend with your clients will not only benefit them, but also you.


Assignments are available now; we have a range of flexible rotas to choose from all over the UK.

Consultus Care and Nursing is founded on the vision that ‘people feel better at home’. We’re looking for like-minded live-in carers and live-in nurses, who have a passion for changing people’s lives.


If you share our drive to deliver exceptional care for clients in their own homes, we’d love to hear from you. You’ll be introduced to clients by a friendly, family-led firm with over 60 years’ experience of care. Our roles are rewarding and satisfying, and you’ll be highly valued by us, the client and their family.

  • Undertake light housekeeping duties, including the preparation of nutritious meals
  • Maintain care records precisely within given guidelines
