About the role
Job Description
Here at Home Instead, We believe care should never be rushed.
That’s why every visit we deliver is a minimum of one hour, creating the time and space for genuine, person-centred relationships.
If you want a role where quality and dignity matter, and where you’re supported to do the job properly, you might be a great fit for our team in Selby and Goole and surrounding area.
What You’ll Receive
* £13.50 an hour * Double time on bank holidays * 30p mileage between clients * Paid travel time between clients * 12–16 hours to start (more as the rota grows) * Every second weekend off * Full training – no experience needed * City & Guilds-accredited dementia training available * Supportive, respectful local management * Guaranteed hours available after successful probation * Employee Assistance Programme * Access to app offering support, benefits and discounts * Refer a Friend: £300
Your Availability
We’re looking for people who can work:
* Between 7am–2.30pm and 3.45pm to 9.45pm shifts * Up to 30 hours a week * Garenteed hours contract available after probation * Alternate weekends and at least two evening shifts a week (essential for this role) * Some flexibility to support client continuity
How You’ll Make a Difference
Our clients rely on us for stability, respect, and genuine human connection. Your visits may include:
* Companionship and meaningful conversation * Personal care (washing, dressing, bathing) * Light household tasks * Medication prompts * Meal preparation * Attending appointments or shopping
Who We’re Looking For
You do not need care experience.
Values matter far more.
You might be ideal if you are:
* Kind, patient and reliable * Comfortable working independently * Able to use good judgement in day‑to‑day situations * Honest about your availability * Motivated to make a real difference * A driver with access to your own car
Important Travel Information
Our clients live across Castleford, Selby, and Goole.
We are upfront about travel so there are no surprises later.
This role is not restricted to one neighbourhood, and some days involve driving between villages. We cluster calls where possible, but flexibility is important.
If you prefer to work only in one tight area, this position won’t be the right fit.
Why Our Care Professionals Choose Home Instead
* Time to care properly — not rushed 15-minute tasks * Honest communication and realistic expectations * Consistency of clients * A team culture built on respect, not pressure * Managers who listen, support and act
