Company Description
We are looking for Care Assistants available in the community of Folkestone and Hythe, Kent, for mornings, evenings, and weekends, with Guaranteed Hours Contracts available.
Are you someone who lights up a room with a smile? Do you have a caring heart and hands ready to make a difference in someone’s day, from the moment you walk in the door to the moment you say goodbye?
At Home Instead, we’re looking for compassionate, dedicated individuals who provide companionship and essential personal care to our clients, ensuring they live comfortably and with dignity.
Job Description
Do you have the skills to be an amazing Care Assistant?
Each day will be different, and you’ll need to think on your feet—whether it’s helping a client with mobility, assisting with daily routines like bathing and dressing, or simply enjoying a cup of tea together.
You will need a listening ear, ready to hear incredible life stories, and sometimes, offer a simple chat to brighten our clients’ day. You may also need to keep track of medication or help a client find their glasses.
You don’t need to be a Michelin star chef, but if you can make a cup of tea and help prepare a light meal, you’re just who we need. You might also be called upon to help with light housekeeping or organising their home to ensure it’s safe and comfortable.
