Offer description

Overview

Our mission is to brighten the lives of seniors giving them a sense of purpose, wellbeing & worth. This role will play a vital part ensuring that our clients receive the best in class quality care and support the growth of our business.


Job Description

Looking for Rewarding Part-Time Work in Okehampton? Drivers Only | Local Clients | £16.25 to £16.75 per hour

If you're someone with a caring nature, a few spare hours, and a reliable car — you could make a real difference right here in your own community.

At Home Instead Okehampton, we support older adults with thoughtful, one-to-one visits that help them stay safe, independent and comfortable at home. Whether you're returning to work, semi-retired, or just looking for something meaningful to do, this role offers flexibility, purpose, and connection.


What You’ll Be Doing

Your visits might include:

* Companionship and a good chat over a cup of tea
* Help with personal care — washing, dressing, or medication reminders
* Preparing a light meal or helping with a bit of shopping
* Supporting confidence and mobility at home or out in the community
* Simply being a kind, familiar face that makes someone’s day a little brighter


What Makes This Role Different

We don’t do rushed calls or pack your schedule wall-to-wall. You’ll have time to care properly, be matched with regular clients, and feel truly valued for the support you give.


What You’ll Get from Us

* £16.25 to £16.75 per hour, based on client contact time and 15 minutes of paid travel time between visits
* Paid mileage at 40p per mile
* Full paid training – no previous care experience needed
* Flexible, part-time hours to suit your lifestyle
* Consistent clients and a local area to work in
* Friendly support from a team that genuinely cares
* Opportunities to gain care qualifications if you’d like to progress


You’ll Need:

* A full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle
* A calm, caring nature and a desire to help others
* Availability for part-time weekday and/or evening hours
