Company Overview
Home Instead is the leading home care provider in the United Kingdom, dedicated to transforming the way older people are cared for in later life. With a network of over 265 independently owned offices, we deliver relationship-led, tailored home care services including companionship, personal care, and specialized support such as dementia and end-of-life care. Our mission is to make a positive difference every day by providing compassionate and high-quality care.
Summary
At Home Instead, we know that the quality of care we provide starts with the people we recruit.
We’re looking to hire a new Recruiter who is naturally great with people — someone who can spot potential, build trust, and help us grow a team of exceptional Care Professionals.
Experience is an advantage but you don’t necessarily need to come from a recruitment background. If you have evidence of strong people skills, good judgement, and a genuine passion for helping others — this may be the next step in your career.
Why This Role Matters
This is not a typical recruitment role.
Every person you bring into our team will go on to support older people and vulnerable adults to live well at home — often at a time when they need it most.
Your role will directly shape:
- The quality of care we deliver
- The experience our clients receive
- The strength of our team and culture
Who We’re Looking For
You might already work in recruitment, or you may work in:
- Customer service, retail or hospitality
- Healthcare or care
- Office administration or coordination
- Community-facing roles
What type of person you are:
- A natural relationship-builder who puts people at ease
- Curious, intuitive, and good at reading people
- Organised and able to follow through on detail
- Comfortable using systems and social media
- Motivated, resilient, and able to manage your own workload
- You care about doing things properly — and want to be part of something meaningful.
What You’ll Be Doing
You’ll take ownership of the end-to-end recruitment journey, including:
- Screening and interviewing potential Care Professionals
- Identifying people who share our values and high standards
- Creating a warm, professional and engaging candidate experience
- Building relationships in the local community to attract great people
- Running creative recruitment campaigns (online and in person)
- Using social media to tell our story and attract interest
- Supporting onboarding and ensuring compliance checks are completed
- Tracking recruitment activity and using data to improve results
You’ll also play a key role in:
- Developing new ideas to attract the right people
- Promoting Home Instead as an employer of choice
- Supporting a strong and consistent pipeline of candidates
What You’ll Get
- A role with real purpose and impact
- Full training in our recruitment system and compliance
- A supportive, close-knit office team based in Saintfield and Newtownards
- Opportunities to grow and develop your career
- The chance to make a genuine difference in your local community
The Recruiter role serves both the Down & Lisburn area (based in Saintfield) and the Ards & North Down area (based in Newtownards). The role is initially office-based, with some office days in both locations each week.
Salary range £26–30k (dependent on experience) plus quarterly bonus
If that sounds like a good fit for you, we’d love to hear from you.
