Job Description

Care Professional – One‑Hour Visits | Time to Care | £13–£14 + 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 Retford and Gainsborough.

Covering Retford and Surrounding Villages - Retford, Ordsall, Hallcroft, Clarborough, Ranskill, Grove, North Wheatley, Woodbeck, Sturton le Steeple, South Leverton, Rampton, Laneham, Clayworth, Ranby, Gamston, Torworth, Barnby Moor, Askham, Lound, Treswell, Hayton, Kneesall, Bothamsall, Bole, Rockley, Cottam, West Drayton, West Markham, Eaton, Headon, Babworth, Lound, Welham, Bevercoates

What You’ll Receive

  • £13/hour weekdays, £14 on weekends
  • Double time on bank holidays
  • 30p mileage between clients
  • 16 to 30 hours a week (Guaranteed hours contract available)
  • Every second weekend off
  • Full training – no experience needed
  • City & Guilds-accredited dementia training available
  • Supportive, respectful local management
  • Employee Assistance Programme

Your Availability

We’re looking for people who can work:

  • 06.45am - 2.30pm and 3.45pm - 9.45pm shifts
  • Alternate weekends (essential for this role)
  • Some flexibility to support client continuity

How You’ll Make a Difference

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

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!
