Job description

Home Instead is the world’s leading provider of non-medical care and companionship services for older people. With minimum visits of one hour, award winning training and an excellent reputation we are immensely proud of the quality of care we provide.

We match our Care Professionals to our clients based on mutual interests and hobbies to help build bonds of trust, which enables us to provide highly personalised support and an outstanding care experience.

We are looking for people with kind, compassionate hearts who want to make a true difference to the quality of life for our clients, to join our outstanding team in Wirral as a Care Professional.

As a Care Professional with Home Instead you will provide a range of care services to older adults living in their own home including a mix of:

  • Companionship
  • Light household duties
  • Shopping and errands
  • Meal preparation and cooking
  • Administering medication
  • Personal care assistance

Whilst we aim to make our working patterns as flexible as possible, some weekend working is required to support your clients' needs.

  • Career development opportunities
  • Mileage allowance
  • Guaranteed Monthly Income (various contracts available),
  • Full paid training
  • Workplace pension scheme
  • Employee discount scheme.

Particular qualifications are not required to become a Care Professional as you will receive full training. However, it would be useful to have some experience of working in a care setting or interacting with older people. This could be personal experience of caring for a family member or voluntary experience.

You will have a passion for supporting others and pride yourself on delivering an outstanding service. You must also be dependable, trustworthy and respectful, and enjoy building professional friendships and comfortable in spending time in the company of others.

A full drivers' license and access to a reliable car are preferable.

We encourage applications from all sections of the community, as we want to reflect the neighbourhoods in which we work. 

Home Instead is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of adults and expects all staff to share this commitment. 

This role is subject to DBS enhanced disclosure.

If you're looking for work that is extremely rewarding and have a high degree of flexibility to meet our clients' needs, we would love to hear from you.
