Job Description

So, what's the job really about?

Well, imagine popping by to help Mrs. Smith start her day. One moment you're assisting her out of bed and helping her choose an outfit, and the next, you're sharing a cuppa and a natter as she enjoys her breakfast. Later, you might be off to Mr. Jones' to make sure he's got his medication sorted and assisting him with a refreshing shower and a hot meal on the table. Maybe a quick tidy-up, or a trip to the shops is on the cards as well.

But here's the special bit. You're not just a helper; you're a lifeline, a listener, and often, a good laugh! You ensure all of your clients are comfortable and safe to enable them to stay independent in their own homes.

Interested in training? Home Instead is a step above the rest. Our training is not just about ticking boxes; it's about elevating your skills and boosting your confidence to enable you to provide high quality care.

Qualifications

What you will bring:

Help clients to remain happy, healthy and thriving in their own homes! Responsibilities may include:

  • Companionship and wellbeing support
  • Help with everyday tasks from cooking a meal to light housework
  • Helping your client access their community by accompanying them to the shops or appointments
  • Supporting your client to maintain their hobbies and social connections
  • Help with washing, dressing or bathing.

Additional Information

At Home Instead we value the amazing work that our Care Professionals do every day. In order to help you achieve the best for yourself and your clients, we offer:

  • Mileage at 30p a mile, paid wait time on top of hourly rate, and an hourly rate of £13.25
  • Employee referral scheme, £100 for every Care Pro you refer (T&C apply)
  • Zero hour contract which means we work around YOUR availability
  • Access to high street discounts & rewards
  • We pay for your Blue Light Card
  • Paid for DBS
  • Fantastic career progression opportunities with our dedicated career pathway
  • Access to Employee Assistance Programme
  • Award-winning professional training & support. We provide in-house induction training from scratch, with opportunities for ongoing training and development.

Driving license and access to own vehicle required.

This role is UK based and the right to work in the UK will need to be established as part of the recruitment process
