Iris Is Looking for a Superhero Carer

7 months ago

Sutton Coldfield, United Kingdom Home Instead Full time

Company Description

Home Instead has a genuine passion for making a difference to peoples lives. We are a worldwide family of caring and compassionate people who believe that our older generation have the right to live in their own home for as long as they can, if they so wish. We provide an amazing team of local Care Professionals to support the older generation within our communities to stay safe and independent within their own home. Our Care Professionals provide companionship, meal preparation, dementia support, help with personal hygiene routines, light housework and taking clients out to appointments and even having fun

**Job Description**:
Iris is an example of a new client. She had heard from her old friend all about her Home Instead Care Professional. You see her friend had an accident a while back and wanted to stay at home so, to ensure she could stay independent, she started having visits from a Home Instead Care Professional. Iris has seen the positive and consistent relationship her friend has gained with the Care Professional. Her Care Professional even takes her friend out to garden centres and coffee shops, something Iris never realised a Care Professional could do

Iris never thought she would have care but this last year has taken its toll both physically and mentally and she has reluctantly decided to get her own Home Instead Care Professional. She says she is reluctant but we know she is excited to form a new and caring relationship and go out to garden centres and coffee shops She also knows that having a Care Professional will give her daughter some reassurance.

Iris is typical of a relationship you may form with clients. A local person from the community who would love to chat, reminisce, be prompted to eat and drink healthily and to take their medication. They may also need help with hair washing or other personal hygiene routines. They are looking for kindness, compassion and consideration of their age and experience in life.

Could you be Iris's new Care Professional or someone like her?

This role can be flexible........it can just be mornings or just evenings or a bit of both but it's definitely aimed to fit around your own commitments. Please consider that client needs don't stop on week days so we are looking for new Care Professionals who can commit to working some hours on alternate weekends..............we want you to have a life balance too

**_ Our Care Professional_**_s_**_ tell us it's not like having a job, it's like spending time with a member of the extended family._**

Visits are for a minimum of 1 hour and if you go on to see another client you are given enough time and are paid to travel. Why should any of our older generation be rushed

Care Professionals are expected to have their own car particularly as, like Iris, the clients may want to go out and about into the community.

Don't worry if by the time you talk to us Iris's friend has been found because there are many more Irises out there looking for someone like you.

Just talk to us about what would suit you and we will see how it will fit with our clients.

**Qualifications**:
No formal qualifications are necessary.

We provide an award winning training programme that steers you to becoming a professional Care Professional in 2 days.

On going support and mentoring is available to all from our professional and knowledgable team.
