Full Job Description
Home Instead South Devon has been providing outstanding home care since 2015 to thousands of clients. We support adults to stay safe, happy and independent in the comfort of their own homes while bringing companionship, reassurance and genuine connection into everyday life. At Home Instead, we believe care should never feel rushed or impersonal. That’s why we focus on building meaningful relationships between our clients and carers, with minimum 1-hour visits and carefully matched care professionals. Just as importantly, we believe care professionals deserve to feel valued, supported and appreciated for the incredible work they do every day. Flexible Part-Time Hours That Fit Around Your Life Looking for a role that works around school hours, family life or other commitments? Whether you’re looking for a few hours a week, morning shifts while the children are at school, evenings, or something more regular, we’ll work with you to build a schedule that suits your lifestyle. We do ask for alternate weekend availability so we can continue providing consistent support to our clients. What makes this role different? At Home Instead, we do things properly. You’ll visit regular clients at regular times, allowing you to build genuine relationships and become a familiar face to the people you support. We carefully match care professionals with clients based on personalities and interests because we know good care starts with trust and connection. Before working independently, you’ll complete shadow shifts alongside an experienced carer so you can get to know your clients, understand their routines, and feel confident and comfortable. We also introduce you to your clients beforehand, meaning nobody feels uncomfortable with an unfamiliar person suddenly arriving at the door. It creates a much nicer experience for both you and the client from the very beginning. And with minimum 1-hour visits, you will have time to care properly. Time to chat, listen and make someone’s day bright
