What Does a Care Professional Do?

As a Care Professional with Home Instead South Lakes , no two days are the same—but every day is meaningful.

Your morning might begin by helping Mr Davies start his day—supporting him to get out of bed, have a shower, and get dressed with dignity. Later, you may visit Mrs Smith to ensure she’s comfortable, has taken her medication, and enjoys a warm, nutritious lunch.

In the afternoon, you could take Mr Thompson for a gentle walk in the fresh air, or assist Mrs Williams with light housework and a bit of shopping. Sometimes, your most important role might simply be sharing a cuppa and a chat—bringing warmth, reassurance, and friendly conversation to someone’s day.

This role is about more than just tasks —it’s about building trust, offering companionship, and making a genuine difference.

What’s In It For You?

  • Competitive Pay : Up to £16.25 per hour , and double-time on Bank Holidays.
  • Travel Costs Covered : Receive £13.50 for travel and wait time , plus 30p per mile mileage reimbursement.
  • Hours that fit your life : Work mornings, evenings, weekdays, or weekends—tailor your hours to suit.
  • No Rushing. One hour visits. You are always paid for the FULL hour.
  • Fully-funded qualifications : Earn Level 2, 3 and 5 qualifications and career advancement for those that would like more!
  • Feel appreciated : We show our appreciation with bonuses—£250 for each successful employee referral and an additional £250 on your work anniversary and £500 if you have been with us 5 years and £1,000 for 10 years!
  • We pay for your MOTs and you receive a winter car kit!
  • Celebrate you : An extra day off on your birthday
  • Wellbeing Support : Free counselling and expert legal advice for you and your family.
  • Local Discounts : Save on your weekly shop and at dozens of your favourite online shops so you can treat yourself - you deserve it
  • Qualifications

    No Experience? No Problem.

    Whether you\'re retired, semi-retired, returning to work, or simply looking to make a difference, we value your life experience over professional experience . Full training is provided, and ongoing support is always available.
