About this role

Company Description

Our office was established in March 2020 and our mission is to brighten the lives of seniors giving them a sense of purpose, wellbeing & worth. This role will play a vital part ensuring that our clients receive the best in class quality care and support the growth of our business.

Job Description

We're looking for new Care Assistants to join our team who are available for night shifts of nine hours (typically 8pm-8am) to provide support at our client's homes. These visits will be with the same client to support their independence at home, supporting them to feel secure and remain dignified in their later years.  

The support you will provide may include:

  • Help with food preparation and medication administration if required. Helping ensure the client remains nourished, hydrated and on top of their medication. 
  • Mobility support to ensure they move safely around their home. 
  • Continence and personal hygiene support to help them remain comfortable and well, promoting skin integrity. 

Qualifications

There aren't any qualifications required to become a Care Assistant, though for night workers a year's experience in care is preferred.

Must have a means of transport as clients are cared for in their own homes and can live in remote areas.

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.
