Company Description

As a trusted, award-winning home care provider with over 260 offices across the UK, we’re proud to be named the Leading Provider of Home Care in the 2024 Leaders in Care Awards, and the most recommended home care provider by Homecare.co.uk.
With over 10 years of experience managing three successful Home Instead branches in Wiltshire, Oxfordshire, & South Gloucestershire, we’re now bringing our high-quality, person-centred care to your community—and we’re looking for compassionate, reliable and caring people to join us as Care Professionals.
We have immediate opportunities across our territory, covering:

Job Description
At Home Instead, we do things differently. We believe care should never be rushed, and relationships should be at the heart of everything we do. That’s why our visits are always at least one hour long, giving you the time to provide truly personal, quality care.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Our Care Assistants are carefully matched with clients and introduced in advance, ensuring familiarity, trust, and continuity. At one of our branches, one of our team members had supported the same client for over 10 years—something we’re incredibly proud of!

- Providing companionship and emotional support
- Preparing meals and helping with daily routines
- Assisting with medication and personal care
- Supporting clients living with conditions such as dementia or those recovering from a stroke
- Assisting with clinical needs, such as:
- Changing compression stockings
- Supporting with catheter care
- Helping people continue living safely and comfortably in their own home.
