Job Description

Care Professional – One‑Hour Visits | Time to Care | Local Support | £13.50 + 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 Castleford, Pontefract, Selby and Goole.and surrounding villages

What You’ll Receive

  • £13.50 per hour
  • Double time on bank holidays
  • 30p mileage between clients
  • 12–16 hours to start (more as the rota grows)
  • 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 to 9pm shifts up to 16 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
  • Attending appointments or shopping

Who We’re Looking For

  • Honest about your availability
  • Motivated to make a real difference
  • A driver with access to your own car

Our clients live across Castleford, Pontefract, Selby, and Goole and surrounding villages.

We are upfront about travel so there are no surprises later.

This role is not restricted to one neighbourhood, and some days involve driving between villages. We cluster calls where possible, but flexibility is important.

If you prefer to work only in one tight area, this position won’t be the right fit.

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!
