Job Description

About the Role

Whilst providing a bespoke service - meaning no two days are the same - you will help clients remain safe, independent, and comfortable within their own homes.

Your visits may include

• Companionship and meaningful conversation
• Personal care support
• Medication prompts
• Meal preparation
• Light household duties
• Supporting appointments and shopping
• Specialist support within complex care packages

Who We're Looking For

You do not need previous care experience - values matter far more.

You may be ideal if you are:

• Kind, patient, and reliable
• Comfortable working independently and within a team
• Calm under pressure
• Motivated to make a genuine difference
• Honest about your availability
• Interested in learning specialist care skills
• A driver with access to your own vehicle

Male and female Care Professionals welcome.

Why Our Care Professionals Choose Home Instead

• Time to care properly - no rushed 15-minute visits
• Consistency of clients and continuity of care
• Honest communication and realistic expectations
• Supportive management team who genuinely listen
• A respectful culture built around quality care
