Folkestone, United Kingdom Home Instead Full time

Job Description

Do you want to make a real difference to someone’s life?

Have you ever helped a neighbour out or looked after a family member when they came home from the hospital and needed some support? What about helping someone in your local community or in your local organisations /groups or clubs? 

Our wonderful Care Professional allow older people to live long and happy lives in their own homes, whilst promoting their autonomy and independence.

A full drivers license and access to your own vehicle is essential. Mutual days and times of work can be discussed at the interview stage. 

We are looking for kind-hearted people to provide quality person- centred care.

Qualifications

A role as a care professional is simply all those things that you do to enhance the quality of life for older people and to help keep them independent in their own home. With Home Instead, care means quality care . It means providing support that is completely  personalised  to the individual and is based on a  close bond  formed from personality similarities, shared experiences or interests and  no rushed minimum one-hour visits .

Because of this, you can help children of ageing parents know that their loved ones remain safe and well and cared for at home. You can deliver a rewarding experience to people who may be lonely or require a bit of extra support to retain their independence.  And you will go home every evening knowing that you made a positive difference to someone’s life.

We are looking for people with kind, compassionate hearts to become CAREGivers. 

You do not need any experience or particular qualification to become a Care Professional. You will have a passion for supporting others and pride yourself on delivering an outstanding service. You will be reliable, trustworthy and respectful. You will enjoy building professional friendships and you are comfortable spending time in the company of others.
