Job Description:

We are seeking reliable, kind, and caring people to join our evening & weekend Home Care Assistant team.

This is a part-time position, but you will have the same, regular hours each week.

We are advertising an evening shift of 16:45 – 21:30. The role is for 3 or 4 weekdays plus every other weekend. We also have hours at varied times of day available on weekends, not just evenings. Please get in touch to see if we have something suitable for you!

As a Care Professional with Home Instead, you will visit clients in their own homes to assist with all elements of their tea time/evening/bedtime routines and provide meaningful companionship. This may also involve personal care assistance.

We offer:

• Pay rate of £13.40 (before 6pm on weekdays) - £15.20 (after 6pm and all day on weekends) per hour.
• Double pay on Bank Holidays.
• Paid travel time plus mileage.
• A range of guaranteed hours contracts (e.g., 12, 16, 30 hours per week) or zero-hours contracts to suit your availability.
• Option to take a portion of your pay early.
• Paid holiday, even on zero-hour contracts.
• Paid training and shadowing.
• DBS fee paid after a qualifying period.
• Consistent working pattern with the same clients.
• 24/7 on-call support and a friendly office team.
• Regular team meetings, training, and support visits.
• Free qualifications such as NVQ diplomas, Level 2 certificates, and a fully funded City & Guilds qualification in Dementia.
• Free polo shirt, satchel, and PPE.
• Access to Employee Assistance Programme.
• Staff appreciation schemes and social events.
• Home Instead benefits, referral bonuses, and pension scheme.

This is a rewarding role where you'll make a real difference in someone's life.

Qualifications:

No prior home care experience needed—just your caring qualities. Full training, shadow shifts, and client introductions will be provided.

Having a full UK driver’s license and your own car is essential for travel to clients within a 15-minute window.

We provide ongoing learning opportunities, including the Care Certificate, health and social care diplomas, and distance learning courses.

Additional Information:

We encourage applications from all community sections to reflect the neighborhoods we serve. Home Instead is committed to safeguarding adults, and this role is subject to DBS checks. Applicants must have the right to work in the UK as part of the recruitment process.
