Job description

Become a Home Instead Care Professional and Make a Real Difference!

At Home Instead, we believe that happiness in your work is priceless. When you join our team, you become part of a family where you're valued, supported, and appreciated. Our clients are at the heart of everything we do, and we make it our mission to provide our Care Professionals with the best possible training, heartfelt support, and opportunities to shine as this is what sets us apart!

You’ll be delivering care across Telford and surrounding areas, helping clients live life to the fullest in the comfort of their own homes. If you love to provide care with excellence, build lasting relationships, and bring joy into someone’s life!

You must be able to work various shifts midweek from 7am up to 10pm, and alternate weekends from 7am to 10pm.

What's the Role?

Imagine spending your days helping others feel safe, cared for, and valued. As a Home Instead Care Professional, your compassion and empathy will shine through as you support your clients with daily activities, companionship, and much‑needed care. You'll have the time to make a real connection with them – offering one‑hour minimum visits so you can focus on delivering care with dignity, love, and patience.

Your role will include:

• Assisting with personal care – helping with bathing, grooming, and more, when needed.
• Offering gentle reminders for medications.
• Preparing nutritious meals tailored to their dietary needs.
• Light housekeeping to keep their environment clean and cozy.
• Providing transportation to appointments or social outings, giving them a sense of independence.

As you get to know your clients and build meaningful relationships, you'll be more than just a caregiver – you’ll be a companion, a trusted friend, someone they can rely on. And all of this allows them to stay comfortably at home, surrounded by the things they love most.

This is not just care – this is Home Instead Care!

What We Offer in Return

Being part of the Home Instead family means more than just a job – it’s a chance to thrive. We only require one essential skill – a full UK driving licence and use of your own vehicle. Everything else? We’ll help you with that!

• Pay rates starting from £12.60 per hour.
• Double pay on bank holidays!
• A chance for development, including obtaining Health and Social Care qualifications.
• Paid mileage and travel time.
• Paid training and opportunities for ongoing development.
• And so much more!

If you're ready to bring joy into someone's life, become part of our Home Instead family. Whether you're an experienced caregiver or completely new to this role, we'll support you every step of the way with unmatched training, guidance, and care.
