Home Instead South Lanarkshire has been operating in the Lanark area for 10 years providing bespoke home care services to members of the community.
To join us as a Part-Time Care Assistant, you don’t need any previous experience just a positive attitude and willingness to do your best and make our clients lives more enjoyable. It may be that you have cared for a vulnerable loved one, or that you are a charitable person that is always looking to help others. That kind of experience gives you the rare skills we are seeking at Home Instead – compassion, understanding and patience. Our service is not merely task driven but focused on wellbeing and meeting our client’s individual needs.
Day to day, you will visit clients in their own home and support them with community activities. This may include attending clubs, lunches, appointments and perhaps doing some shopping. You may help our clients with their personal care including washing and dressing, and managing medication. You may also assist with light household tasks. But that’s not why our client’s eyes will light up when you arrive. That’ll be because of what you bring to their lives; human connection, reassurance, wellbeing and hopefully some fun!
Why Home Instead?
We truly value you and the work you do! Carers are at the core of Home Instead’s vision of empowering people to live longer and healthier lives at home. Our Care staff are our greatest asset.
At Home Instead, care is not just a job - it’s a career. We commit to helping you progress and truly make a difference by upskilling you through a blended learning approach including workshops and eLearning. You will also have an opportunity to gain your SVQ qualification which will help you to support our clients confidently and competently.
