Kendal, United Kingdom Home Instead Full time

Job Description

So, what's the job really about?

Well, imagine popping by to help Mrs. Smith start her day. One moment you're assisting her out of bed and helping her choose an outfit, and the next, you're sharing a cuppa and a natter as she enjoys her breakfast. Later, you might be off to Mr. Jones' to make sure he's got his medication sorted and a hot meal on the table. 

But here's the special bit.  You're not just a helper; you're a lifeline, a listener, and often, a good laugh  Our visits are never less than an hour, so you truly have the time to care. You ensure all of your clients are comfortable and safe to enable them to stay independent in their own homes.

We are rated OUTSTANDING by the Care Quality Commission and 9.9/10 by all our lovely clients on homecare.co.uk, where we have over 60 reviews and a WorkBuzz 5 Star Employer

Interested in training?  Home Instead is a step above the rest. You don’t need to have worked in care before as we ensure you're supported at every stage of your journey with us. In the independent WorkBuzz survey 100% of our Care Professionals said they have access to the training they need to do their job well
