Care Assistant Evenings

At Home Instead Market Harborough , our Care Assistants are known as Care Professionals . We value our team, recognise their skills and dedication, and treat every member with the respect they deserve.

There’s nothing quite like seeing a client smile and hearing a genuine thank you. Working in care brings a real sense of purpose and job satisfaction, knowing that the support you provide can make a meaningful difference to someone’s day and quality of life.

As a Care Professional with Home Instead , you’ll receive full training, ongoing support and the opportunity to gain recognised qualifications in care. Whether you’re looking for a few hours a week or several hours a day, our flexible roles can fit around other work, family life and your existing commitments.

Care is a career with a future. As our population continues to age, the need for compassionate, reliable and dedicated Care Professionals will continue to grow. The skills you develop in care are valuable, transferable and, most importantly, make a real difference to the lives of the people you support.

Our personalised care services help our clients remain safe and comfortable within their own home. All our clients are wonderfully unique; it’s lovely to spend time listening to their stories and lives. As a carer your care visits may include:

Personal Care  – helping someone to get up in a morning, the usual things we all may need a little help with at some time in our lives, supporting with washing, grooming, continence care and getting dressed.

Companionship – conversation and good company - assist with writing letters and enjoying a chat, shopping and much more

Activities – accompanying to outings and social events such as a local friendship lunch club and to encourage hobbies and pastimes

Plan, prepare and cook nutritious food - rediscovering favourite family recipes

Medication – collecting prescriptions, medication reminders

Light housekeeping –ensuring their home is spotless, safe, tidy

Many of our clients live in rural and remote locations where public transport is limited or unavailable. As a result, the successful candidate will need to be able to travel reliably and independently to and from clients' homes, which may be in areas that are difficult to access by public transport. Travel may be required during early mornings, evenings and periods of reduced daylight.

Applicants should carefully consider whether they can meet the travel requirements of the role before applying.

At Home Instead we value a kind, compassionate heart above all else.  We provide full, paid training for all our Care Professional’s as standard, although you may not have had formal care training any previous care or personal experiences are always very welcome.

As many of our clients are based in rural locations, access to reliable transportation is essential.
