Home Instead - Living Well Your Way

IT'S NOT WORKING, IT'S CARING WITH HOME INSTEAD

A wonderful lady requires support with home help. She is intelligent with a great sense of humour, but living with Autism has resulted in difficulty keeping her home in good order. She requires that extra bit of support to manage the household tasks and maintain the home so that she feels safe and comfortable.

As Care companions we spend time with our clients finding out what their dreams and wishes are. We contribute to their care plans and we are encouraged to implement creative ideas to keep them relaxed and engaged.  

Whether you are looking for a reliable long term career or just want to offer a few hours a week to improve someone's life, there are opportunities for you.

As Care Companions we receive:  

• Competitive rates of pay £10.05 - £15.80 per hour
• Guaranteed hour contracts available
• Paid travel mileage
• Health Cash Plan and an Employee Assistant Programme
• Paid Annual Leave
• Full training provided and paid for
• Continuous mentorship and support

The Care Companion role includes:

• Visiting regular people in the community for a minimum of 1 hour to support with a variety of needs including personal care, keeping socially and physically active and offering a listening ear. 
• Communicating with families and nurses as part of the care team.
• Involvement in designing care plans and implementing creative ideas to encourage a better quality of life. 
• Participating in team meetings to support each other in our roles.

• Proficient in speaking, reading, and writing English.

Care Companions are at the centre of the mission to transform care in the community, changing it from rushed visits to slow companion-based care.

As Care Companions we are matched with individuals we support, based on personality, interests and hobbies which help us build strong and trusting relationships. Visits with our clients are more than one hour each with sufficient time to really Care. We regularly receive training and support to learn new skills and develop in our careers.
