Part-time


If you’re looking for a career where your caring nature can truly shine and make a real difference, you’re in the right place. Home Instead loves to welcome new care assistants to our team, supporting clients in the comfort of their own homes across Rotherham . 

Job Description

Early and late shifts: 16 to 20 hours a week

Postcodes: S25,S26 S61,S62, S63 and S66

Here at Home Instead , We believe care should never be rushed.

That’s why every visit we deliver is a minimum of one hour , creating the time and space for genuine, person-centred relationships.

If you want a role where quality and dignity matter, and where you’re supported to do the job properly, you might be a great fit for our team in Rotherham.

What You’ll Receive

  • £13/hour weekdays, £14 on weekends
  • Double time on bank holidays
  • 30p mileage between clients
  • 16 to 20 hours a week
  • Every second weekend off

  • Companionship and meaningful conversation
  • Personal care (washing, dressing, bathing)
  • Light household tasks
  • Medication prompts
  • Meal preparation

Who We’re Looking For

  • Comfortable working independently
  • Able to use good judgement in day‑to‑day situations
  • Honest about your availability
  • Motivated to make a real difference
  • A driver with access to your own car

Why Our Care Professionals Choose Home Instead

  • Time to care properly — not rushed 15-minute tasks
  • Honest communication and realistic expectations
  • Consistency of clients
  • A team culture built on respect, not pressure
  • Managers who listen, support and act
