Care Assistant (Days)

£14.25 - £15.7 per hour
Full-time


We’re looking for kind, reliable Care Assistants  to support older adults across Ashford and surrounding areas.

You will required to work Mornings, 7am - 14:00 and alternate Weekends , with Guaranteed Hours contracts available for extra security!.

If you have a caring heart and a friendly smile, you can make someone’s day — from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave.

At Home Instead, we focus on quality care, offering both companionship and personal support so clients can live safely, comfortably and with dignity.

Job Description



Care as it should be — unhurried, personal, rewarding!.

At Home Instead, we give you the time to make a difference. Our visits are at least an hour long, so you can focus on what matters — helping someone feel safe, comfortable and valued.

You’ll be supporting older adults with things like:

  • Providing respectful personal care, such as helping with washing, showering, bathing, dressing and personal hygiene, while always maintaining dignity and independence
  • Supporting with mobility and helping clients move around their home safely
  • Preparing meals, snacks and hot drinks
  • Helping with light household tasks to keep their home safe and comfortable
  • Offering companionship, conversation and a friendly face
  • Supporting with medication reminders and other health-related tasks where appropriate

No Experience? No Problem!

You don’t need previous care experience — we’ll train, support, and cheer you on from day one.

We’re looking for people with the right values and attitude. For example:

  • Have you cared for a loved one or supported a family member?
  • Are you someone who can chat easily and make others feel at ease?
  • Do you enjoy helping people and making a difference in someone’s day?

If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.

Why you’ll love working with us:

  • Guaranteed Hours contracts available (10–20/wk) — steady, reliable income

  • £14.25–£15.70/hr + 35p per mile

  • Fully paid training & Care Certificate

  • Birthday and appreciation gifts

  • Pension & wellbeing support

  • Staff discounts and annual team events

  • Real career progression — we’ll help you grow

Join us and be part of a team that truly cares — where you’re given the time to deliver care the way it should be.

Qualifications



What You’ll Need

  • Right to work in the UK
  • Full driving licence and access to a car
  • Clear English and good communication skills
  • A warm, patient and caring nature 

And we will help and support you with the rest!
