Job Description
Flexible Part-Time Hours That Fit Around Your Life
Looking for a role that works around school hours, family life or other commitments?
Whether you’re looking for a few hours a week, morning shifts while the children are at school, evenings, or something more regular, we’ll work with you to build a schedule that suits your lifestyle.
We do ask for alternate weekend availability so we can continue providing consistent support to our clients.
What Makes This Role Different?
At Home Instead, we do things properly.
You’ll visit regular clients at regular times, allowing you to build genuine relationships and become a familiar face to the people you support.
We carefully match carers with clients based on personalities and interests because we know good care starts with trust and connection.
Before working independently, you’ll complete shadow shifts alongside an experienced carer so you can get to know your clients, understand their routines, and feel confident and comfortable.
We also introduce you to your clients beforehand, meaning nobody feels uncomfortable with an unfamiliar person suddenly arriving at the door. It creates a much nicer experience for both you and the client from the very beginning.
And with minimum 1-hour visits, you’ll actually have time to care properly. Time to chat, listen and make someone’s day brighter.
What You’ll Be Doing
* Companionship and conversation
* Helping with daily routines
* Preparing meals
* Supporting with personal care
* Helping clients stay independent in their own homes
For many of our clients, your visit will be one of the most important parts of their day.
