Job Description

We\'re looking for kind-hearted people to join us as Care Professionals at Home Instead Lanark and surrounding areas.

To join us as a Care Assistant, you don\'t need any previous experience. It may be that you have cared for a vulnerable loved one, or that you are a charitable person that is always looking to help others. That kind of experience gives you the rare skills we are seeking at Home Instead - compassion, understanding and patience. Our service is not merely task driven but focused on wellbeing and meeting our client\'s individual needs

Day to day, you will visit clients in their own home and support them with community activities. This may include attending clubs, lunches, appointments and perhaps doing some shopping. You may help our clients with their personal care including washing and dressing, preparing a hot home cooked meal, and managing medication. You may also assist with light household tasks. But that\'s not why our client\'s eyes will light up when you arrive. That\'ll be because of what you bring to their lives; human connection, reassurance, wellbeing and hopefully some fun!

So, if you tick these boxes and are looking for a secure part-time or full-time job, you\'ve got everything you need to start training as a Professional Care Worker with us.

At Home Instead, care is not just a job - it\'s a career. We commit to helping you progress and truly make a difference by upskilling you through a blended learning approach including workshops and eLearning. You will also have an opportunity to gain your SVQ qualification which will help you to support our clients confidently and competently.

We support you and your wellbeing, and as a valued employee, you\'ll have access to Home Instead benefits page - our new employee benefits platform which offers shopping discounts and cashback from over 800 retailers, as well as access to our employee assistance program to support you with your mental and physical health.
