Job Description

Care Professional – One‑Hour Visits | Time to Care | Local Support | £13.25 per hour +Mileage

Here at Home Instead, We believe care should never be rushed.

That’s why every visit we deliver is a minimum of one hour, creating the time and space for genuine, person-centred relationships.

If you want a role where quality and dignity matter, and where you’re supported to do the job properly, you might be a great fit for our team in Wakefield.

We are looking for care assistants in the following areas we would love to chat to you about working for us-

WF1, WF2 and WF5

What You’ll Receive

  • £13.25 per hour
  • Double time on bank holidays
  • 30p mileage between clients
  • Up to 30 hours per week
  • Every second weekend off
  • Full training – no experience needed
  • City & Guilds-accredited dementia training available
  • Supportive, respectful local management
  • Guaranteed hours available after successful probation
  • Employee Assistance Programme
  • Refer a Friend: £300

Your Availability

We’re looking for people who can work:

  • 7am–2.30pm and 3.45pm – 9.45pm shifts
  • Up to 30 hours per week
  • Alternate weekends (essential for this role)
  • Some flexibility to support client continuity

How You’ll Make a Difference

Our clients rely on us for stability, respect, and genuine human connection. Your visits may include:

  • Companionship and meaningful conversation
  • Personal care (washing, dressing, bathing)
  • Light household tasks
  • Medication prompts
  • Meal preparation

Who We’re Looking For

You do not need care experience.

You might be ideal if you are:

  • Kind, patient and reliable
  • Comfortable working independently
  • Able to use good judgement in day‑to‑day situations
  • Honest about your availability
  • Motivated to make a real difference
  • A driver with access to your own car

Why Our Care Professionals Choose Home Instead

  • Time to care properly — not rushed 15-minute tasks
  • Honest communication and realistic expectations
  • Consistency of clients
  • A team culture built on respect, not pressure
  • Managers who listen, support and act

What Happens Next

Once you apply, you’ll receive an acknowledgement and your application is then reviewed and if you meet the criteria, then you will be able to arrange for us to give you a call and have a chat about the job.

If we’re a good match for each other, then we will invite you for an inteview at our office.

We look forward to meeting you!
