We are looking for kind and compassionate people like you to join our Home Instead community. Whether you have direct experience in care, personally or professionally, or are just starting out – we offer industry leading training to help you help others.

As a Home Care Assistant, you will be visiting people in their own home to help them with all aspects of their daily routines, and provide meaningful companionship at the same time.

Our Office is based in Worle, Weston super Mare but we have Clients from Burnham on Sea to Clevedon and everything in between.

We try to keep you working locally to where you live to minimise time spent travelling around and maximising your time to care.

We provide care to our Clients from 8 in the morning until 9:30 at night, but you won't be expected to work all of these hours. Just tell us when you are available and we will fill that time for you. We have split shifts, mornings, evenings and various hours in the day available, you decide what you want to do! All we ask is that you have the same availability every other weekend as well.

Home Care Assistant Benefits:

  • Great rates of pay - from £13.40 to £15.20 per hour, plus paid mileage and travel time on top. We also pay double time on Bank Holidays.
  • Minimum 1 hour calls – giving you the time to care.
  • Part time hours available - which can build to full-time if desired.
  • Training - full induction programme where we provide in depth training, plus other opportunities to develop your career.

  • Employee referral bonus reward.
  • Employee Assistance Programme - access to counselling and other benefits.
  • Exclusive discounts scheme – supermarkets, high street stores, Blue Light Card and more.

Responsibilities:

Being a Home Care Assistant is an essential role, supporting our Clients to live well at home. With the support of our team and industry leading training, you can feel fully equipped to deliver the high-quality care Home Instead has become known for.

Here’s what you will be doing:

  • Companionship - ensuring a client enjoys regular and meaningful social interaction is an important part of your visit
  • Help with everyday tasks such as meal preparation and light housework
  • Accompanying to appointments or shopping
  • Personal care - supporting our clients with the essentials such as bathing, showering, dressing and medication to keep them healthy and independent

Qualifications

The right candidate for this role will need to be available some weekdays, plus every other weekend. Set hours contracts available, discussion at interview. Contract options will be based on your availability.

No previous care assistant experience is needed, just your natural caring qualities. We will support you with full training, shadow shifts and introductions to all your new clients.

Having a full, UK driver's licence and your own car is essential due to some tasks that may be involved like shopping trips, taking to appointments, and travelling between client visits within a 15 minute window.

We provide free ongoing learning and development opportunities such as the Care Certificate, Health and Social Care diplomas and an extensive range of distance learning courses.

Additional Information

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of adults and expects all staff to share this commitment. We require successful candidates to have an enhanced DBS check and provide a minimum of 4 references before they can start work as a Home Care Assistant.
