Job Description

🌟 Your Role as a Care Professional at Home Instead

Being a Care Professional at Home Instead is about so much more than providing practical support — it’s about being a familiar face, a listening ear, and a reliable presence in someone’s life.

Your day-to-day routine might include:

* Light housekeeping tasks * Medication assistance * Personal care (washing, dressing, grooming, incontinence support, moving safely) * Accompanying clients to appointments or running errands * Providing companionship and emotional support

We believe in relationship-led care, which means:

* Longer visit times (no rushed 15-minute calls) * Matching carers with clients for continuity and comfort * Time to connect, not just complete tasks

Qualifications

Your Role as Care Professional

Each day, you’ll help individuals feel comfortable, supported, and ready — whether that’s preparing a warm breakfast, sharing a chat over a cuppa, or assisting with personal care and medication. At other times, it could be a trip to the doctors, a walk in the park, or simply sitting alongside someone, offering comfort and reassurance.

It’s the little things that matter most. Whether you are offering a steady arm, remembering how they like their tea, or sharing a quiet word of comfort; your kindness and compassion make every day brighter! 🌞

* A compassionate and patient nature * A full UK driving licence and access to a reliable car * Reliability and a genuine desire to make a difference in people’s lives
