Care Assistant - Part time

Job Description

Care as it should be — unhurried, personal, rewarding.

At Home Instead, our visits are at least an hour long. No rushing, just real, meaningful care that makes a genuine difference to someone's day. 

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll be supporting older adults with things like:

• personal care and mobility
• Preparing meals and hot drinks
• Light household tasks to keep their home safe and comfortable
• Companionship, conversation and a friendly face
• Some visits may include more personal health-related support — we provide full paid training for all of this, so no experience or medical background is needed

No Experience? No Problem!

You don’t need previous care experience — we’ll train, support, and cheer you on from day one.

We’re looking for people with the right values and attitude. For example:

• Have you cared for a loved one or supported a family member?
• Are you someone who can chat easily and make others feel at ease?
• Do you enjoy helping people and making a difference in someone’s day?

If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.

Hours:

Hours will vary whilst we build our client base, with a mix of:

• Morning shifts: 07:00–14:00
• Afternoon shifts: 14:00–21:00
• Alternate weekends required

This is a great opportunity if you’re looking to be part of something new, growing, and exciting.
