Company Description
At Home Instead Portsmouth, we believe that everyone deserves exceptional care, support, and the opportunity to live a better life. We're looking for compassionate, reliable individuals who share our values and want to make a genuine difference in their local community.
Job Description
If you're an early bird, then this is the role for you!
About the Role
No two days are the same in care. One visit may involve sharing a cup of tea, completing a crossword, or enjoying a conversation. The next may involve providing personal care and practical support to help someone remain safe and independent in their own home.
We're looking for individuals who are compassionate, adaptable, and able to approach every situation with empathy, professionalism, and respect.
When you join us, you'll agree on a regular working pattern that fits your availability. You'll be expected to be available from 7am-12pm (This can be negotiated under particular circumstances). We simply ask that you remain consistent with your chosen schedule wherever possible to provide safe continuity of care.
