Job Description

Your Role as a Care Professional

Changing careers in midlife can be transformative – especially when you step into a role that lets you directly improve someone’s quality of life.

As a Home Instead Care Professional, you’ll help clients continue living life their way, with their choices at the centre of your support.

What your days include:

  • Time to Care: Our minimum 1-hour visits mean you’ll build genuine connections, not rush from task to task.
  • Meaningful Support: Offer companionship, encouragement, and practical help with everyday activities.
  • Personal Care with Dignity: Assist clients with essential routines so they feel safe, respected, and comfortable.
  • Keeping Life Lived Fully: Accompany clients to shops, social outings, and appointments, helping them maintain independence and confidence.

To ensure you can support clients effectively, you’ll need a valid driving licence and access to a reliable car.
