Job description

Are you ready for a role that feels more like a purpose than a job? Then become part of our award-winning Home Instead team where every evening at work counts, helping older adults stay happy, safe, and independent in the place they love most — their own home.

We have a NEW increased evening rate of £14.50 per hour to offer, so whether you’ve worked in care before or you’re completely new to it, we’ll give you all the training and ongoing support you need to thrive.

What you’ll need to join us

  • A full UK driving licence and access to a car.
  • The ability to work every other weekend.
  • The right to work in the UK.
  • An eagerness to develop the skills needed to provide professional, compassionate care.

What you’ll do - Every visit is unique, but your role may include:

  • Being a friendly companion with a warm smile and listening ear
  • Offering respectful support with personal care routines
  • Preparing a homely meal and creating a cosy evening wind-down routine
  • Bringing joy, reassurance, safety, and confidence to someone’s evening.

Why you’ll love working for Home Instead?

  • Great pay: £14.50 per hour evening rate (from 6.15pm)
  • We’re rated Outstanding by the CQC
  • Paid training and ongoing support – no experience needed.
  • Paid travel time (between client calls)
  • Double pay on Bank Holidays
  • Paid mileage – 35p per mile.
  • We offer an Employee Assistance Programme because your health and wellbeing matter to us.
  • Our minimum 1-hour visits mean your care isn’t rushed.
  • Our Care Professionals are matched with clients to give you time to build real, lasting relationships.
  • We recognise and reward loyalty and long service.

What We’re Looking For

  • A caring, patient, and kind-hearted nature
  • Someone who understands our values and mission.
  • A genuine desire to help people live well at home.
  • Someone dedicated to delivering the highest stands of care.

If you want more than just a job — if you want to help people live life to the fullest — we’d love to hear from you.

Apply today and start a rewarding career with Home Instead.
