A trip to Honiton Museum and the Church with Annabel and Mrs E! Learning about the origins of the Honiton Lace Market Town.

Honiton has been making lace for over 400 years and reached its peak in the 19th century when Queen Victoria chose Honiton lace for her wedding dress, veil, and the christening robe for her children.

Not everyone sets out with a career in care in mind. Many people find their way here because they are looking for work that feels more human, more meaningful, and more connected to real people.

Being a Care Professional is about showing up with kindness, taking time to listen, and helping someone live well in the place they call home. It is about trust, consistency, and building relationships that grow over time.

If you are thinking about a change in direction and want a role where your values matter just as much as your skills, a career in care with Home Instead Exeter and East Devon could be the right next step.
