Care Assistants - To Provide Home Care Part or Full Time

Here, at Home Instead we like to have fun, we like to laugh, especially when it's with our clients' and that brings joy to all of us. It makes the job worth getting out of bed for in the mornings, because there is nothing so sad as working for a miserable organisation. So if you are:

Overworked and underpaid?

Struggling to meet rising bills?

Struggle with the hours you are expected to work?

Running from Client to Client?

No time to do anything other than basic necessities for the client?

Getting disillusioned with working in Adult Care?

Cannot find anything to laugh about?

If you can relate to any of the above. We at Home Instead, Welwyn & Hatfield, would love to hear from you.

We do require you to have a Full UK Driving LIcence and Car so you can visit clients. We also require all staff to work their normal hours/shifts on alternate weekends.
