Job Description
Have your kids just started school and you’re looking for something extra to do while they’re out? Maybe you have older children that have started college or university and you’re now at a loose end? We would love to help you fill your time with a meaningful and rewarding part time career as a Home Care Assistant.
We are looking for people who live in Weston super Mare, Worle, Clevedon, Congresbury, Burnham on Sea and all the surrounding areas, who want to work locally to where they live.

As a Home Care Assistant with Home Instead, you will be visiting people in their own homes to help them with all elements of their daily routines and provide meaningful companionship at the same time. This may also involve providing assistance with personal care.
If this all sounds like something that would suit you, then why not apply today!
