Position Overview & Specifications
Do you have time on your hands? Maybe the kids are in school or have flown the nest, or perhaps you took early retirement but still have more to give. If you’re looking for fulfilling work that you can do on a part time basis, then our Care Professional role might be perfect for you.
We’re a growing care company looking for caring people to join our existing teams in Salisbury and Romsey. As part of the Home Instead family, the world’s leading provider of non-medical care and companionship services for older people, we pride ourselves on the quality of care that we provide.
Job Description
Just a few hours of your time can make a huge difference to an older person. You’ll be supporting older people in the community to live as independently as they can at home, which may include sharing a cup of tea and a chat, helping with medication or personal care, preparing meals, or making the house sparkle. However you’re helping your clients, you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing that you’ve made their day that bit better.
You’ll have regular clients and since every visit is a minimum of an hour, you’ll have time to get to know them well. You’ll also be part of a supportive team who value you and your unique contributions.
We aim to do our best by our Care Pros, and so in addition to our award-winning training, excellent rates of pay, and opportunities for career development, we offer the following:
- Paid travel and wait time
- Free 24/7 access to an Employee Assistance Programme
- Paid Refer a Friend scheme
- Home Instead discount scheme
- Blue Light discount card
- Guaranteed hours contracts
Qualifications
We welcome both new carers and experienced ones. What’s most important is that you’re kind and caring, that you share our ethos and values, and that you want to do your best. So if you’d like to make the most of your spare time, please do get in touch. We look forward to hearing from you!
