Why Home Instead?

Our local Home Instead office was established in 2012, with a mission to brighten the lives of older people in our community by giving them the gift of care and support

We’re proud to be part of the global Home Instead network and committed to delivering outstanding care. Our team is supported through comprehensive training, mentoring and 24-hour assistance, so you’re never on your own.

We also care about our local community and the environment, including taking steps to reduce the impact of travel associated with community care.

Ready to make a difference?

If you’re looking for a rewarding part-time role where you can build meaningful relationships, help people remain independent and genuinely brighten someone’s day, we’d love to hear from you.

What will you be doing?

Every client is different, so no two days are exactly the same. Your role may include:

• Providing companionship and conversation
• Helping clients with everyday activities
• Supporting with light household tasks
• Helping clients maintain their independence
• Accompanying clients on outings or appointments
• Offering practical and emotional support
• Building genuine, trusting relationships with regular clients

Sometimes, the most important thing you’ll do is simply sit down, have a cup of tea and listen to someone’s stories.

Who are we looking for?

What you’ll need

• A full UK driving licence
• Access to a reliable car
• A genuine passion for supporting others
• Ability to work alternate weekends

What you’ll get

• £14.15 per hour

• Paid holidays
• Alternate weekends off
• Your own regular schedule with regular clients
