You might start the day helping a client with breakfast and a chat, then support them on a walk, a trip to the shops or simply share stories over a cuppa.

Every visit brings connection, confidence and purpose for them and for you.

As the weather turns colder and the festive season draws near, a little warmth and good company mean more than ever. ⭐️

Having someone to share a chat, a laugh or a quiet moment with can make all the difference, especially for those spending more time at home. Our Care Professionals bring companionship and comfort that brighten each day, helping loved ones feel cared for and connected.

Because when you can’t be there, the greatest gift is knowing someone caring can be. 💚

Don't hesitate to reach out to our team at 01506 346046 or visit homeinstead.co.uk/west-lothian to find out more about our home care services in West Lothian.

You might not know much about plants, but Keisha will. She’ll tell you all about her garden over a cup of tea or two.

She’s still proud that she can get about and cook for herself, but bath time is a bit trickier these days. That’s where you come in, just to be there, just in case.

She likes her hair brushed, her flowers watered, and her independence intact. It’s about dignity and feeling at home, with a little help when it’s needed.

No two visits are the same. One day you’re doing physio and looking through old photo albums, the next you’re chatting about Wordle and the weather.

You’ll always have at least an hour, enough time to do things properly with care and kindness. And Keisha will tell you, more than once, how much it means.

You’ll get full training and support from a friendly team who are always at the end of the phone, or happy to grab a coffee when you need a chat or advice.

We believe in rewarding people who care. You’ll get good pay, a range of shift patterns, and the chance to make a real difference every single day.

There’s no feeling quite like doing something meaningful and doing it well.

Even Keisha would agree.

🗣️ Have Your Say on the Future of Health & Social Care in West Lothian

West Lothian’s Integration Joint Board (IJB) is currently asking for feedback on their proposals for how health and social care services will be delivered in our area from 2026 to 2028.

These plans could have a significant impact on local people, including older adults, families, and those receiving care and support in the community - so it’s really important that as many voices as possible are heard.

👉 You can find full details and take part in the consultation here:

There are few jobs as heartwarming as this. ☺️

If you’re looking for a role where you can genuinely make a difference, becoming a part-time Care Professional with Home Instead could be the job that was made for you.

Every visit with a local client lasts at least an hour, giving you proper time to get to know each person like a friend and provide the care they need to live independently in their own home - whether that’s helping someone get up and ready for the day, preparing a warm meal, popping to the shops, or heading out for a walk with their dog.

By the end of the day, you’ll go home knowing you’re the person someone truly looks forward to seeing.

Apply online or call our friendly recruiter to find the right role for you.
