Your missions

Company Description

Home Instead has been looking after clients in Cornwall for over a decade and has earned an excellent reputation for providing companionship-based care in people's own homes. Whilst the office is locally owned, we also benefit from being part of the UK’s leading provider of non-medical care and companionship services for older people.

Job Description

We are looking for kind, caring and compassionate people who enjoy spending time and helping older people. Each visit is no less than an hour and you will be matched with a small number of regular clients so you can really focus on getting to know them.

Some of your daily duties may include:

  • Shopping and meal preparation
  • Light housework
  • Helping clients with dressing and washing
  • Supporting clients to be involved with the local community
  • Medication support
  • Socialising and leisure

Here is what one of our team said when asked about their job:

“I love being a Caregiver as I find being able to provide, care, companionship and reassurance to my clients a very rewarding experience. It’s flexible so you can fit in hours around your own schedule. I look forward going to work as at the end of each visit I feel fulfilled knowing I’ve made a difference to someone’s day.”

Qualifications

You do not need any experience or particular qualifications, but you do need access to your own vehicle. We believe empathy is far more important than experience, and we will provide you the relevant training and support tailored to help you look after your clients.
