Company Description

Ready for a fresh start?

Sometimes life nudges you to ask: what’s next for me?

Maybe you’re semi-retired or an ex-nurse who misses building real relationships. Maybe your weeks need a new purpose. Maybe you’re starting your care career and want to do it properly, with people who get it.

At Home Instead North Lakes, you’ll have real, unhurried time with real people where the care we deliver is rated Outstanding by the CQC. One-hour visits built around what matters to them, with clients matched to you through shared interests. Full hour with your client. Travel time and mileage paid on top. That hour is theirs. No corners cut.

And you’ll be in good company. Thank you to everyone who took part in our last PEAQ survey: 98% of the Care Professionals in our South Lakes team told us they are proud to work for Home Instead, and 100% would recommend our services.

What you bring as a person matters more than what’s on your CV.

Time to care, and hours to fit your life

Every day is different, and every day means something. You might help someone with their morning routine, share a proper cuppa and a catch-up, prepare a meal, support with medication, or enjoy a gentle walk together. Every visit is shaped around the person, their routines and what makes them feel most like themselves.

These aren’t small things to the people you visit. They are everything. And you’re paid for every minute. No wonder 98% of our South Lakes Care Professionals feel confident in their ability to meet their clients’ needs.

Your hour is their hour

At Home Instead, travel is never squeezed out of a visit. Your client gets their full hour with you, and you get paid for all of it. Your travel time between calls is paid separately on top (£12.71), plus mileage, and it’s planned so you can get to your next client without rushing.

No clock-watching. No cutting the cuppa short. No arriving at your next call flustered.

Whether you’ve built transferable skills in hospitality or another people-focused role, or you’re starting a new chapter, you could be a perfect fit. If you’re warm, reliable and genuinely care about people, we’ll support you with everything else.
