Are you the dependable friend that everyone turns to? The one who listens, offers a shoulder, and knows just what to say? That's more than just being a good friend—that's having the heart of a Care Professional.
For us, it’s not about having a CV packed with care experience; it's about the kind of person you are. At Home Instead, we value people like you because you have a rare set of skills: genuine kindness, empathy and oodles of patience. If you've ever thought your natural talents are going unnoticed, think again. You're exactly the kind of person who can make a difference.
We are rated GOOD by the Care Quality Commission.
Job Description
So, what's the job really about?
Well, imagine popping by to help Mrs. Smith start her day. One moment you're assisting her out of bed and helping her choose an outfit, and the next, you're sharing a cuppa and a natter as she enjoys her breakfast. Later, you might be off to Mr. Jones' to make sure he's got his medication sorted and a hot meal on the table. Maybe a quick tidy-up, or a trip to the shops is on the cards as well.
But here's the special bit. You're not just a helper; you're a lifeline, a listener, and often, a good laugh! Our visits are never less than an hour, allowing plenty of time to provide quality care without feeling rushed. You ensure all of your clients are comfortable and safe to enable them to stay independent in their own homes.
Interested in training? Home Instead is a step above the rest. Our Nurse led training delivers many hours of training to our team each year. Its not just about ticking boxes; it's about elevating your skills and boosting your confidence to enable you to provide high quality care. We ensure you're supported at every stage and you can earn professional qualifications too!
And we’re a team that likes to have fun too. We celebrate each other’s achievements and have regular team meetings and coffee and chats. We even get out into the local community hosting Companionship Cafes, Dementia talks and gift giving schemes!
“Care is what I've always known, but after 17 years working with Adults with Learning Disabilities, I was ready to embrace a new challenge. Home Instead welcomed me with open arms and were very interested in my Care experience and wealth of knowledge. I love my new role, the support team have been very welcoming and supportive. The training has cemented my skill set and passion for providing high quality care." - Julie, Care Professional.
