Care Assistant
Preston, England, gb
Job Description
Join Our Caring Family as a Domiciliary Care Hero!
Are you ready to make a difference while ensuring others have a smile? We’re on the lookout for compassionate and cheerful individuals to join our team of Domiciliary Care Heroes! If you believe that care should be served with a side of warmth, humor, and a sprinkle of joy, then we want to hear from you!
Are you the dependable friend that everyone turns to? The one who listens, offers a shoulder, and knows just what to say? That's more than just being a good friend—that's having the heart of a Care Professional.
At Home Instead, we value people like you because you have a rare set of skills: genuine kindness, empathy and oodles of patience. You're exactly the kind of person who can make a difference.
So, what's the job really about?
Well, imagine popping by to help Mrs. Smith start her day. One moment you're assisting her out of bed and helping her with a refreshing shower and the next, you're sharing a cuppa and a natter as she enjoys her breakfast. Later, you might be off to Mr. Jones' to make sure he's got his medication sorted and a hot meal on the table.
But here's the special bit. You're not just a helper; you're a lifeline, a listener, and often, a good laugh! Our visits are never less than an hour, so you truly have the time to care. You ensure all of your clients are comfortable and safe to enable them to stay independent in their own homes.
We are rated Good by the Care Quality Commission and 8.9/10 by all our lovely clients on homecare.co.uk and we're a WorkBuzz 5 Star Employer!
Interested in training? Home Instead is a step above the rest. You don’t need to have worked in care before as we ensure you're supported at every stage of your journey with us. In the independent WorkBuzz survey 100% of our Care Professionals said they have access to the training they need to do their job well!
Why Join Us?
- Flexible hours that fit your schedule – work when it suits you!
- Competitive pay and benefits that recognise your hard work.
- Ongoing training and support to help you grow in your role.
- A fun, friendly team that feels more like family!
Qualifications
What We’re Looking For:
- A heart full of kindness and a sense of humor that can brighten anyone’s day.
- Previous care experience is a plus, but your positive attitude and willingness to learn are what matter most!
- A valid driver’s license and access to a vehicle – because adventures await!
