Professional CAREGiver

Company Description

Home Instead Senior Care is the world’s leading provider of non-medical care and companionship services for older people. We enable our wonderful clients, who need some support and assistance, to stay living independently within their own homes. With minimum visits of one hour, award winning training and an excellent reputation we are immensely proud of the quality of care we provide. We match our CAREGivers to our clients based on mutual interests and hobbies to help build bonds of trust which enables us to provide personalised support.  

Job Description

We are providing free high quality training, recognised to the national standard of The Care Certificate, for those who would like to join Home instead as a CAREGiver. No experience within the care sector is needed.

Why are we providing this incentive?

We have had unrivalled enquires from potential Clients wanting CAREGivers to support them to stay independent at home. This may have something to do with our recent TV sponsorship with Alan Titchmarsh's gardening programme!

We are looking for caring and compassionate people to become part of our expanding team to help the Older Adults,  within B74 and B75 postcode area, to retain their choice and control over how and where they want to live. To help them start their day by supporting them with their morning routine, breakfast and if required medication. Or perhaps ensure that the Client is supported with their evening routine to ensure they have safely gone to bed.

CAREGivers work part time, mornings or evenings and most definitely alternate weekends. This role can be fitted around your own commitments.

Our CAREGivers are matched to the Clients and then visit them consistently allowing CAREGivers to see the difference they are making to their lives.

Our CAREGivers visit a Client for a minimum of 1 hour or more……………we do not do 15 minute calls or even half hour calls.

Our CAREGivers travel locally (within 15 minutes of own postcode) to visit their Clients. We work with Clients within their own homes. You will therefore need a car to travel from one Clients home to another Clients home.

Our employed CAREGivers are important to  us and we believe that when you join us you become part of the Home Instead family.
