Care Assistant - £200 SIGN UP BONUS

Home Instead South Devon has been providing outstanding home care since 2015 to thousands of clients.

We support adults to stay safe, happy and independent in the comfort of their own homes while bringing companionship, reassurance and genuine connection into everyday life.

At Home Instead, we believe care should never feel rushed or impersonal. That’s why we focus on building meaningful relationships between our clients and carers, with minimum 1-hour visits and carefully matched care professionals.

Just as importantly, we believe carers deserve to feel valued, supported and appreciated for the incredible work they do every day.

At Home Instead, we do things properly.

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.
