Company Description

Home Instead has arrived in Thornbury, Yate and Dursley - and we couldn’t be more excited!

As a trusted, award-winning home care provider with over 260 offices across the UK, we’re proud to be named the Leading Provider of Home Care in the 2024 Leaders in Care Awards, and the most recommended home care provider by Homecare.co.uk.

With over 10 years of experience managing two successful Home Instead branches in Wiltshire and Oxfordshire, we’re now bringing our high-quality, person-centred care to your community - and we’re looking for compassionate, reliable and caring people to join us as Care Professionals. We have immediate need across our territory which covers Thornbury and Yate, so if you're located nearby that would be ideal, and we also cover Dursley and everywhere in-between.

Job Description

At Home Instead, we do things differently. We believe care should never be rushed, and relationships should be at the heart of everything we do. That’s why our visits are always at least one hour long, giving you the time to provide truly personal, quality care.

Our Care Professionals are carefully matched with clients and introduced in advance, ensuring familiarity, trust, and continuity. At one of our other branches, one of our team members had supported the same client for over 10 years - something we’re incredibly proud of!

Every day is different, but your role could include:

• Providing companionship and emotional support
• Preparing meals and helping with daily routines
• Assisting with medication and personal care
• Supporting clients living with conditions such as dementia or those recovering from a stroke
• Assisting with clinical needs, such as changing compression stockings or supporting with catheter care

You’ll help people continue living safely and comfortably in the place they know best - their own home.
