Care Assistant

Is CARING your new calling? Are you looking for a new career path but not sure where to turn?

At Home Instead, we value and respect the work that our Care Professionals do to make a difference to their clients’ lives. We are looking for compassionate people to join our growing family. Could you be the one to make a difference?

Are you kind and caring and share the same values as we do? If so, you’re already halfway there! Our Care Professionals are at the heart of everything we do. We provide you with the best PAID in-house training with our Registered Nurse, Dinah, to equip you with the skills needed! Our personal pledge is to support and train our staff to be the very best to enable them to deliver the kind of care we would want for our own loved ones – nothing less.

Home Instead is the UK’s most recommended home care provider on homecare.co.uk, where we are proud to be rated 9.9/10 and rated OUTSTANDING by the Care Quality Commission. We only do MINIMUM one-hour visits so you won’t ever need to rush, and you will have the time to build relationships with your clients and have the time to spend doing all those ‘little’ things that will make your clients smile. We pay up to £16.50 per hour PLUS travel, waiting time and paid training of £13.50 PLUS mileage. As you will always do minimum one hour visits it means you will always be paid for the FULL hour. We also reward you with anniversary and refer a friend bonus of £250.

Our Care Professionals come from all manner of professions, including retail, beauty, hospitality but also those who are continuing their career in care. All our Care Professionals have access to the very best training, which includes Dementia Awareness, Parkinson’s, Frailty and End of Life and also Level 2, 3 and 5 qualifications.

You will be travelling throughout our community, treating your clients as you would your own loved ones. You could be helping with personal care, light housekeeping, and companionship, all to ensure you clients are comfortable and safe to enable them to stay independent in their own homes.
