At Home Instead Leek & Moorlands we offer support to individuals living in their own home. We are looking for Home Care Assistants to attend visits to our clients in Leek. Offer companionship, support, and happiness to our clients, all while enjoying the flexibility that comes with working for us. No experience required - just a friendly personality and the right values.

We are looking for individuals who live in/near Leek to work full-time, a combination of 7am - 2:15pm and 4pm - 10pm shifts. You must be able to work alternate weekends.

At Home Instead we have minimum 1-hour calls plus suitable travel time to ensure you are not rushed with clients, with mileage reimbursement. We work to match our Care Professionals and clients together so memorable connections can be established. All initial calls with a client who is new to you will be introductions with the support of another colleague, so you can really get to know your client and their needs.
