At Home Instead, we support clients to live independently at home, with personal care, home help, companionship, dementia support and live-in care. Our aim is to provide the quality care we would want our own family members to have.
We know that the quality of care we provide starts with the people we recruit.
We’re looking for someone who is naturally great with people — someone who can spot potential, build trust, and help us grow a team of exceptional Care Professionals.
Experience is an advantage but you don’t necessarily need to come from a recruitment background. If you have evidence of strong people skills, good judgement, and a genuine passion for helping others — this may be the next step in your career.
Job Description
Why This Role Matters
This is not a typical recruitment role.
Every person you bring into our team will go on to support older people and vulnerable adults to live well at home — often at a time when they need it most.
Your role will directly shape:
- The quality of care we deliver
- The experience our clients receive
- The strength of our team and culture
Who We’re Looking For
You might already work in recruitment, or you may work in:
- Customer service, retail or hospitality
- Healthcare or care
- Office administration or coordination
- Community-facing roles
What You’ll Be Doing
You’ll take ownership of the end-to-end recruitment journey, including:
- Screening and interviewing potential Care Professionals
- Identifying people who share our values and high standards
- Creating a warm, professional and engaging candidate experience
- Building relationships in the local community to attract great people
- Running creative recruitment campaigns (online and in person)
- Using social media to tell our story and attract interest
- Supporting onboarding and ensuring compliance checks are completed
- Tracking recruitment activity and using data to improve results
You’ll also play a key role in:
- Developing new ideas to attract the right people
- Promoting Home Instead as an employer of choice
- Supporting a strong and consistent pipeline of candidates
Qualifications
What type of person you are:
- A natural relationship-builder who puts people at ease
- Curious, intuitive, and good at reading people
- Organised and able to follow through on detail
- Comfortable using systems and social media
- Motivated, resilient, and able to manage your own workload
Most importantly, you care about doing things properly — and want to be part of something meaningful.
