Care & Support Assistant's - Common Sense - You're Hired

Home Instead is the world's leading provider of non-medical care and companionship services for older people. With minimum visits of one hour, award winning paid training, and an excellent reputation, we are immensely proud of the quality of care we provide. 

The Welwyn & Hatfield office are now looking to recruit people who live in Borehamwood, Hatfield, Potter's Bar and Welwyn areas, and who are looking to ultimately make a career working within the Adult Care Sector- this is your chance to join the fastest growing service industry in the UK, and the leading provider of care to the elderly.

We are now seeking people to work with our elderly clients and can negotiate with you your availability - tell us what suits you, and let us work our magic (within reason).

We are also very happy to speak to people looking for a couple of hours work each day, including weekend's - so if you are retired, bored, in need of extra income, looking for new friends, or keen to give something back, then give us a call. 

We do require all staff work their agreed hours on alternate weekends - essential.

You must be passionate about what you do, with your own car - essential because we travel between clients and 'drive them to appointments' on a daily basis. You must also have a full British Driving Licence.

You must have the Right to Work in the UK and this will be established later during any recruitment process. We are currently NOT licenced to sponsor people and are unable to use people currently sponsored by other companies.

We are looking to recruit a number of people over the coming weeks and one of the qualities you must possess is an abundance of 'common sense'. You need that special ability when you are taking care of older people in their own homes.

As a care professional, you will provide the whole range of care services to your clients, from personal care through to light housework and companionship.

We are looking for people who like to take responsibility, have compassion, empathy, reliability, and enjoy working with older people.
