🌼 “Could You Be the Person Who Makes My Day Brighter?” 🌼

— A message from someone who needs a little extra help

Hello there,
My name doesn’t really matter… but the truth is, I’m someone’s mum, someone’s grandparent, someone who has lived a full life. And now, I need a little help living it well.

These days, getting ready in the morning takes me a bit longer. Sometimes cooking a meal feels like climbing a hill. And in the evenings, I wish I had a friendly face to help me into my comfy pajamas and make sure I’m safe and settled for the night.

What I’d really love is company.
Someone to chat with over a cup of tea.
Someone who might take me out for a little day trip now and then — to the park, to the shops, or just anywhere I can feel the world again.
Someone who understands that independence looks different for me now… but dignity matters just as much as ever.

Are you caring? Patient? Someone who believes small moments can make a big difference?
If so, I’d love someone just like you to join the home-care team that helps people like me every single day.

You won’t just be helping with meals or mobility.
You’ll be giving comfort, companionship, and confidence.
You’ll be helping me stay me.

If you have a kind heart and a little time to give, please consider joining Home Instead.
It might become the most meaningful work you’ve ever done.

👉 Apply today — someone like me is waiting for someone like you.

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.

You might not know much about plants, but Fatima 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 Fatima 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 Fatima would agree.
