Home Instead Stockport are seeking compassionate, friendly individuals to assist us in helping people maintain their independence and thrive in the comfort of their own homes during weekend evenings: 4:15pm - 10:15pm. We cover areas of Stockport including the Heatons, Cheadle, Bramhall, and Reddish. Our office is in Offerton.
We know that top-quality care can't be rushed, which is why we don't offer short visits - every visit is at least one hour. Some are much longer; you may find yourself at a 4-hour companionship visit, for example. We ensure you have enough travel time to get to each client, so you can focus on giving them the time and attention they deserve. Plus, we pay mileage for your travel.
We also make sure to match Care Professionals with clients based on similar skills, personality, and interests, so you can really connect with the people you’re supporting. For any visit with a new client, you’ll be accompanied by someone who will introduce and support you, allowing you to really get to know the client and their routine.
