We know that top-quality care can't be rushed, which is why we don't offer short visits - every visit is at least one hour. Some are much longer, such as 4-hour companionship visits. We ensure you have enough travel time to get to each client, so you can focus on giving them the time and attention they deserve.

We carefully match Care Professionals with clients based on similar skills, personality, and interests, so you can really connect with the people you're supporting. For first visits with new clients, you'll be accompanied by someone who will introduce and support you, allowing you to get to know the client and their routine.

Benefits:

  • £25,000 annual salary (average 35 hours/week, with extra pay for additional hours)
  • 35p per mile for travel
  • 28 days annual holiday
  • No uniform – stay comfortable in casual dress alongside your free Home Instead bag, ID badge, and PPE
  • Face-to-face training delivered by a Registered Nurse
  • Gain qualifications – Care Certificate, Level 2 or 3 Diploma, or City & Guilds certificates
  • Refer a Friend Bonus – you and your friend will earn £250 EACH per referral
  • Career progression opportunities – Senior Care Professional, Quality Lead, Client Services Manager
  • Access to Blue Light Card and Home Instead discounts
  • Paid enhanced DBS check
  • Support of our local office in Offerton, rated 9.8/10 on homecare
  • 24-hour on-call line

Responsibilities:

  • Assist with household tasks like cleaning, tidying, and laundry
  • Prepare meals or assist with cooking your client's favourite dishes
  • Offer companionship by engaging in hobbies and spending quality time together
  • Support with personal care, including showering, dressing, and bedtime routines
  • Take clients on outings they enjoy, like shopping or a local café
  • Keep accurate records and report any concerns following company guidelines
  • Administer medication and document accordingly
  • Promote independence by supporting clients in following their routine and making their own choices

Requirements:

  • Experience is not required due to our comprehensive in-house training, though previous care experience is an advantage
  • Full driver's licence and your own vehicle
  • Reliable, punctual, and caring personality
  • Confident in conversation
  • Able to commit to the required hours
  • Must live in Stockport or Tameside and be happy to travel around both these areas.
