Why join the Burley’s Home Care Live In Care Network?

A Family-Run Care Provider That Values People Development.

Burley’s Home Care has delivered premium home and live-in care services across Hampshire and Dorset since 2009. As a trusted, family-run provider, exceptional care and support begins with exceptional people.

Fully Trained Care Teams Behind Every Placement

Unlike smaller care agencies, Burley’s has experienced, fully trained care coordinators supporting every care placement. They understand the work you do, and they’re there when you need them – not just at the start of a placement.

Live-In Care Jobs That Are Matched, Not Just Filled

Our live in care jobs are not posted publicly and filled at speed. We match. A care placement that works well is better for the client, better for the family members involved, and better for you. We’d always rather take longer to find the right fit than rush and get it wrong.

A Home Care Provider With a Proven Record

Burley’s holds a CQC ‘Good’ rating, has been named a Top 20 UK Home Care Provider for seven consecutive years (2018–2024), and is rated 10 out of 10 by clients on homecare.co.uk. Our home care services span live-in care, domiciliary care, respite care, palliative care, and dementia care.

Peace of Mind for You and Your Clients

Joining the right care network gives you peace of mind – knowing placements are vetted, care plans are thorough, and family members have been properly prepared. It’s also what we give to clients and their families: the reassurance that the carer in their home is experienced, assessed, and fully supported.

What Is Live-In Care?

Live-in care in Somerset offers a more personal alternative to domiciliary care or care home roles. As a live-in carer, you stay in your client’s home for 2 to 4 weeks, providing support, companionship and care. You’ll have your own private bedroom, with all meals provided.

Claire, one of our experienced live-in carers, explains: “The beauty of this arrangement is that I don’t just work in your home; I live in it. No rent or housekeeping worries, just a dedicated focus on your well-being. I share my days with a remarkable 90-year-old lady celebrating life. I do the housekeeping and cook delicious food. The Dorset Apple Cake is her favourite treat! After three weeks of devoted service, I take one week off, whether for a rejuvenating holiday or exploring the charming towns across the UK.”

Your Role as a Live-In Carer

You’ll provide high-quality care to clients in their Somerset homes, helping improve their quality of life through personalised support and companionship.

Your daily duties include:

  • Personal care – washing, dressing, toileting, maintaining dignity
  • Medication administration – safely managing prescriptions and accurate MAR charts
  • Meal planning and cooking – preparing nutritious food
  • Companionship – meaningful conversations, activities, accompanying to appointments
  • Light housekeeping – keeping the home clean and safe
  • Shopping and errands – prescriptions, weekly shopping
  • Monitoring and communicating – observing health changes and liaising with families

You may support someone living with dementia, recovering from a stroke, managing Parkinson’s disease, or receiving palliative care.

You’ll also become a trusted companion. The small details matter – how someone takes their tea, their favourite music, or simply being a reassuring presence.
