Job Description

Looking for Rewarding Part-Time Work in Okehampton?

Drivers Only | Local Clients | £16.25 to £16.75 per hour

If you're someone with a caring nature, a few spare hours, and a reliable car — you could make a real difference right here in your own community.

At Home Instead Okehampton, we support older adults with thoughtful, one-to-one visits that help them stay safe, independent and comfortable at home. Whether you're returning to work, semi-retired, or just looking for something meaningful to do, this role offers flexibility, purpose, and connection.

What You'll Be Doing

Your visits might include:

  • Companionship and a good chat over a cup of tea

  • Help with personal care — washing, dressing, or medication reminders

  • Preparing a light meal or helping with a bit of shopping

  • Supporting confidence and mobility at home or out in the community

  • Simply being a kind, familiar face that makes someone's day a little brighter

What Makes This Role Different

We don't do rushed calls or pack your schedule wall-to-wall.

You'll have time to care properly, be matched with regular clients, and feel truly valued for the support you give.

What You'll Get from Us

  • £16.25 to £16.75 per hour, based on client contact time and 15 minutes of paid travel time between visits

  • Paid mileage at 40p per mile

  • Full paid training – no previous care experience needed

  • Flexible, part-time hours to suit your lifestyle

  • Consistent clients and a local area to work in

  • Friendly support from a team that genuinely cares

  • Opportunities to gain care qualifications if you'd like to progress

You'll Need:

  • A full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle

  • A calm, caring nature and a desire to help others

  • Availability for part-time weekday and/or evening hours
