Home Instead is the world’s leading provider of non-medical care and companionship services for older people.

Job Description

Growing older can be very stressful for some people, so can you imagine taking someone out of their home too? Our home care avoids this, and our CAREGivers allow older people to live long and happy lives, whilst promoting their autonomy and independence. Do you want to make a real difference to someone’s life?

Qualifications

Have you ever picked up a prescription for a friend or accompanied someone to the doctor? What about helping someone at your local community hall or church group? Or, have you simply just lent your ear to a friend or offered a shoulder to lean on when somebody has needed some emotional support?

Becoming a CAREGiver is simply all those things that you do to enhance the quality of life for seniors and to help keep them independent in their own home. With Home Instead, care means quality care. It means providing support that is completely personalised to the individual and is based on a close bond formed from personality similarities, shared experiences or interests and minimum one-hour visits.

We are always looking for people with kind, compassionate hearts to become Care Professionals.
