What are living jobs?

'Living' jobs typically refer to positions that involve providing care, assistance, or support in residential or home environments. This can include roles such as live-in caregivers, residential aides, or house managers who help individuals with daily living activities, such as personal care, meal preparation, and household management. These jobs often require compassion, patience, and flexibility, as the worker may reside with or spend extended periods in the client’s home. They are crucial for supporting individuals who need extra help to maintain independence and quality of life.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a living?
