Company Description
HAVE YOU GOT SOME TIME IN THE EVENINGS? Maybe even just a couple of hours to help make a difference to others?
Home Instead Dartford is a fast growing family-run business with a personal touch and great passion, as well as part of the leading home care provider in the country.
We are proud winners of a 'Workbuzz 5* Employer Award' six years running and have been rated 'Good' in all areas by CQC.
We cover Belvedere, Erith, Bexley, Dartford, West Gravesend and surrounding areas and are looking for kind and compassionate home care workers who love to care and help others.
To us it really IS personal. We WANT to promote that personal relationship. We want you to understand the client and provide better and more personal care to them. This builds trust and confidence for both of you and gives reassurance to the families. You will be allocated the same client as often as possible to keep continuity for you both.
In order to get to know each other and build a meaningful relationship, our visits are a minimum of 1 hour long; no rushed visits and with enough time scheduled to reach your next client.
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.
