• Preparing healthy and delicious meals throughout the day.
• Assisting with household tasks such as cleaning and laundry.
• Completing messages for clients, such as grocery shopping or supporting them to an appointment.
• Getting out on social activities—like going for coffee or supporting a client with a hobby.
• Above all, providing essential companionship services, which are at the heart of everything we do.

Why choose Home Instead?

• 1-hour minimum call times—less traveling and more time to make a difference with your clients.

• Competitive pay rates: from 1st April, £13 per hour Monday-Friday and £14 per hour on weekends.
• Paid mileage on qualifying journeys.
• Ongoing support from our dedicated team.
• Benefits including discounts at high street stores, hotels, and cinemas.
