At Home Instead we are known for the award-winning, high-quality care that we provide. Care Assistants within Home Instead are known as Care Professionals; their care and support enable our clients to live independently and happily in their own homes.

Looking for a new career can be daunting, but with Home Instead, it all starts with a friendly chat. Don't worry if you have no experience, as we will train and support you.

Job Description The biggest part of the role is making a difference, making someone's life a bit easier, and helping older adults stay independent in their own home for as long as possible. We offer care across the entire spectrum, from helping a client get up safely, assisting to the bathroom, preparing breakfast to having a chat over a cuppa, and tidying up. You could pick up shopping or the client may want to come with you to choose their own shopping, stop for a cake and cuppa, and back home to put the shopping away. The most important thing is that you develop trust and a friendly relationship, which is why you'll hear Care Professionals say "This doesn't feel like work" because they spend quality time together.
