Care Assistant - Weekends - Borough Of Rochdale.

At Home Instead we are known for the award-winning, high-quality care that we provide. Care Assistants within Home Instead are known as Care Professionals, their care and support enables our clients to live independently and happy in their own homes.

We match you to clients personalities and interests, so you can develop a friendship with regular clients.

Looking for a new career can be daunting, but with Home Instead it all starts with a friendly chat and don't worry if you have no experience as we will train and support you.

Many of our Weekend CAREGivers come from various backgrounds, in particular, people from retail and hospitality, have fitted perfectly into our relationship led care. The most common feedback we get is "I wish I had done this years ago!"

The biggest part of the role is making a difference, making someone’s life a bit easier and helping older adults stay independent in their own home for as long as possible. We offer care across the entire spectrum, from helping a client get up safely, assisting to the bathroom, preparing breakfast to having a chat over a cuppa and tidying up. You could pick up shopping or the client may want to come with you to choose their own shopping, stop for a cake and cuppa and back home to put the shopping away. The most important thing is that you develop trust and a friendly relationship, which is why you'll hear Care Professionals say "This doesn't feel like work" because they spend quality time together.
