Requirements
- Have a full UK driving licence
- Have access to a reliable vehicle
- Be able to work mornings, evenings and every other weekend

Experience in care is helpful but not essential, as full training is provided.
Why Home Instead?
Home Instead is known for delivering outstanding care with warmth, respect, and companionship. We don’t just provide services, we build relationships.
We provide longer home visits, typically averaging around 80 minutes, allowing our Care Assistants to focus on companionship, dignity and independence, not rushing between clients.
If you’re a caring person who wants to be part of something meaningful while staying true to our values, we’d love to hear from you.
