Job description

Overview

Company Description

At Home Instead Bradford & West Leeds , we believe care is personal. We’re part of the UK’s most trusted home care brand, with over 240 local offices and a reputation for exceptional, relationship-led support.

As a locally owned and managed branch, we offer the warm, family feel of a small business — backed by the strength, training, and standards of a global care organisation.

We don’t rush care. We take time to listen, support, and build real relationships — not just with our clients, but with our amazing Care Professionals too.

Job Description

No two visits are the same, because no two clients are the same. You’ll be providing high-quality, one-hour minimum care that’s tailored to each person’s needs. Your visits may include:

• Helping with personal care routines (washing, dressing, toileting)

• Supporting with medication and meal preparation

• Light housework and laundry

• Driving clients to appointments, shops, or social outings

• Sharing meaningful companionship and conversation

We cover all areas of Bradford, plus West and North Leeds — and always aim to match you with clients close to home.

Qualifications

We’re looking for kind, caring people with a passion for making life better for others. You don’t need professional experience — we’ll provide full, paid training and support every step of the way.

✅ What you must have:

• A valid UK driving licence and access to your own car
  (due to the rural nature of some client visits and need to travel between them)

• The right to work in the UK
  (we are not currently able to offer VISA sponsorship)

Additional Information

What we provide:

We believe great care starts with happy, supported Care Professionals. That’s why we offer:

• £12.75–£13.75 per hour (with enhanced pay on Bank Holidays)

• Paid mileage, travel time, and waiting time between visits

• Shifts that work for you — part-time, full-time, or guaranteed hour contracts

• Fully paid training, plus optional NVQs and specialist care courses

• A dedicated, friendly office team who support you every step of the way

• Recognition and rewards, including Care Professional of the Month and regular team events

• Staff referral bonuses when you help us grow the team

• Access to exclusive retail discounts via our employee perks scheme

• 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme for mental health and wellbeing support

Our approach to care is simple: we match our clients with Care Professionals they trust, who take the time to build genuine relationships. That’s why our visits are never rushed — and why our team love what they do.
