Job description

Overview

Home Instead is the world’s leading provider of non-medical care and companionship services for older people. We match our Care Professionals to clients based on mutual interests and hobbies to help build bonds of trust and enable personalised support.

What the job is about

You’ll help clients in their homes with daily activities, from morning routines to meals, and supporting independence. Examples include assisting with getting up, choosing an outfit, preparing breakfast, helping with medications, assisting with a shower, and providing companionship during the day. There may also be light tidying or running errands such as shopping.

But here’s the special bit. You’re not just a helper; you’re a lifeline, a listener, and often a source of encouragement. You’ll help keep clients comfortable and safe in their own homes so they can stay independent.

Training and development

Our training is not just about ticking boxes; it’s about elevating your skills and boosting your confidence to enable you to provide high quality care.

Role location and hours

We are looking for caring, compassionate Care Professionals to work within the St Neots area between 7am – 10pm, Monday to Friday and alternate weekends. You will not be working straight through those times.

Qualifications

• You don’t need any care experience to apply for this role; plenty of care, compassion and resilience are important.

Requirements

• The applicant must reside in the UK and have the right to work in the UK.
• We are not sponsoring Visa applications at this time.
• Applicants must have a means of transport as clients are cared for in their own homes, or may require accompaniment on appointments or outings and some roles may be in remote areas.
• We value life skills, so no experience is required.

Additional information

By joining Home Instead Huntingdon, you’ll have the opportunity to build lasting friendships within your area while feeling supported by a team. You’ll also feel good knowing you’re earning a good income while doing something you love.
