We're looking for Care Assistants who may already have experience as a Support Worker or in Domiciliary Care or those without experience looking to become a Care Assistant as full training will be given.

We value our Care Professionals, and that's why we offer such a variety of benefits along with a host of other work and social perks.

Being a Care Assistant means you need to be adaptable, and personable but ultimately put others first. Your role may include:

• Delivering personalised care to our clients, the way you would want your loved ones to be cared for
• Carrying out domestic tasks such as cooking & cleaning and accompanying your clients to any medical/personal appointments
• Building trusting relationships with all clients
• Updating our fantastic app on each visit so family members can see how their loved ones are getting on
• Providing personal care including a variety of non-medical services
• Travelling between clients’ homes means a driver’s license & own car is essential

At Home Instead Exeter and East Devon we like to match up our Care Professionals with our clients based on personality and interests. No two visits are the same. If you're organised, can manage time effectively, are reliable and have a great sense of humour, are considerate and caring and are looking for a rewarding role that can fit around family life, we could be a perfect fit.

Care Assistants MUST have a Valid UK Driving Licence (with access to a vehicle for work purposes) and have the Right to work in the UK.

We are actively recruiting Carers now. If this is something you would be interested in please click 'Apply', to get in touch today!

No experience need as full paid training is provided.

At Home Instead, the welfare of our clients is our top priority and we're committed to ensuring their safety and well-being at all times. As part of this commitment, all staff are required to undergo a DBS-enhanced disclosure.
