Job Description

At Home Instead, we do things very differently. We believe care should never be rushed, and that's why every visit lasts at least one hour, giving you the time to build genuine relationships and provide the personalised support every client deserves. We carefully match our Care Professionals with clients to ensure continuity, trust and companionship, allowing meaningful relationships to develop over time. Many of our Care Professionals support the same clients for years, becoming a familiar and trusted part of their lives - something we're incredibly proud of across the Virtus Care Group.

Every day is different, but your role may include:

  • Providing companionship, conversation and emotional support
  • Preparing meals and helping with daily routines
  • Supporting with medication and personal care
  • Assisting clients living with dementia, Parkinson's, stroke recovery and other health conditions
  • Supporting with simple clinical tasks, such as compression stockings or catheter care
  • Assisting with outings, attending appointments and help with shopping
  • Housekeeping and home support such as light housework and cleaning
  • Helping clients remain safe, comfortable and independent in their own homes

This is much more than a care job. It's an opportunity to make a genuine difference to someone's life every single day.

No previous care experience is required. If you're caring, reliable and enjoy helping others, we'll provide everything you need to succeed. Through our award-winning Care Skills Academy, you'll receive comprehensive training, ongoing mentoring, recognised qualifications and genuine career development opportunities.

What We Offer

  • £12.85 per hour during the week
  • £13.50 per hour at weekends
  • Double pay on Bank Holidays
  • Paid travel time at £12.21 per hour
  • Mileage allowance of 35p per mile
  • Free Blue Light Card with national discounts
  • Access to our Care Skills Academy with industry-leading training, funded qualifications and career progression
  • Wellbeing Hub with support covering mental health, nutrition, menopause, sleep and wellbeing
  • Regular clients with consistent schedules, allowing you to build meaningful relationships
  • A supportive office team that genuinely values and recognises your contribution
  • Opportunities to grow within one of the UK's leading home care providers

What We're Looking For

  • Warm, compassionate and dependable individuals who genuinely enjoy helping others
  • Availability to work mornings, lunchtimes, tea times or evenings on either a part-time or full-time basis – we’re new here so we’re happy to speak to anyone who can give some continuity to working hours
  • Availability to work every other weekend – this is our only must!
  • A full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle, as we support clients across a largely rural area
  • Applicants aged 18 or over

If you're looking for a rewarding role where you'll have the time to provide outstanding care while becoming part of a supportive, growing team, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply today and one of our friendly team will be in touch.
