Job description
Home Instead care professionals are known for being a bit special and we are a great local company to work for –we make sure that our staff get the time to build a lovely relationship with our clients. As the only provider of relationship led care rated Outstanding in all five areas by CQC, we help our clients continue to live safe, well, and independently at home and really care about our employees.
Other job ads list endless "must haves"... We'd rather tell you what you don't need for this lovely job:
You don't need to be a master chef, but if you can brew a cuppa that warms the soul, you're already a hero in our book.
You don't need to be Sherlock Holmes, but your knack for finding a client's misplaced glasses will make you feel like a day-saving detective.
You don't need to waltz like you're on 'Strictly,' but you'll find joy in the simple pleasure of a spontaneous dance with a client during afternoon tea.
You don't need to be a runway model, but when you help a client pick out their 'feel-good' outfit for the day, you'll feel like a personal stylist.
You don't need a GCSE in history; instead, you'll have the honour of listening first-hand to a lifetime of treasured memories.
You don't need a uniform. Our visits bring comfort, as if a good friend just walked through the door.
And rushing? Definitely not on our watch. Each visit you make is far more than just ticking off a list of tasks. By the end of the day, you'll carry that warm, 'I've-really-made-a-difference' feeling, knowing you've been the highlight of someone's week.
