Job Description

Care Professional – One‑Hour Visits | Time to Care | Evenings and weekends | £13–£14 + Mileage

Early and late shifts: 16 to 20 hours a week

Postcodes: S25,S26 S61,S62, S63 and S66

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 Rotherham.

What You’ll Receive

  • £13/hour weekdays, £14 on weekends
  • Double time on bank holidays
  • 30p mileage between clients
  • 16 to 20 hours a 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:

  • Between 7am to 2.30pm and 4pm-10pm
  • 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
  • Attending appointments or shopping

Who We’re Looking For

You do not need care experience.

Values matter far more.

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 within 24-48 hours......however if you are a really STAND OUT candidate we may contact you within hours of your application!

We review every application carefully and will contact you as soon as possible.

If we’re a good match for each other, we’ll guide you through training and get you started once you're ready.

We look forward to meeting you!
