Care Assistant
- Contract
- Date Advert Closes: 01 April 2025
- Compensation: GBP 6760 - GBP 23660 - yearly
Company Description
NEW: Salaried contracts now available (10 - 35 hours per week)
We are excited to offer salaried contracts for our local home care roles, providing the stability of regular contracted hours and a guaranteed monthly income.
Join our supportive team at Home Instead Eastbourne and Hailsham, where you'll support regular clients with enough time to travel between visits — and you'll be paid for your travel and waiting time too.
Our contracts guarantee between 10 and 35 hours per week, based on agreed availability aligned with our clients' needs, which includes a commitment to working alternate weekends. Salary range between £6,760 and £23,660 per annum (pro rata £27,040 FTE).
Why This Role Stands Out
Salaried contracts - guaranteed hours and reliable monthly income (10–35 hours per week)
Minimum 1-hour visits - no rushed calls, just meaningful and relationship-building time with clients in the community
Companionship-led care - build real relationships through conversation and connection
Supportive workplace culture - proud to be a 5★ Workbuzz-rated employer.
Home Instead Eastbourne and Hailsham is a family-owned and run business, and we are incredibly proud to have been awarded a second 'Outstanding' rating by the Care Quality Commission this year.
