# Home Instead: Care Professional (Evening) – UK Roles

About Home Instead

Home Instead is the world's leading provider of non-medical care and companionship services for older people. By offering hourly, personalised support within clients' homes, we empower them to maintain independence, stay active, and have meaningful connections.


About the Role

We are actively seeking compassionate, dedicated Care Professionals to join our team for tea time and evening shifts (17:00–22:00). With minimum one-hour visits, our Care Professionals deliver tailored, at-home care that makes a real difference.

Home Instead trains all staff from the ground up—no qualifications are required. Whether helping a client with morning routines, meal prep, light housework, or offering the simple gift of conversation, your work directly supports their dignity, safety, and well-being.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Assisting clients with personal care
  • Supporting with medication management
  • Preparing nutritious meals and ensuring safe meal preparation
  • Performing light housekeeping (e.g., tidying, laundry)
  • Running errands such as accompanying clients to appointments, shopping, or social activities
  • Offering companionship and engagement to combat isolation
  • Ensuring clients’ homes remain safe and healthy environments

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
