Home Instead offers job boost to caring and kind-hearted caregivers

"We want to harness the community-spirit and kindness that is being demonstrated all over the UK right now, as those attributes are key to our workforce," says Martin Jones, CEO of Home Instead Senior Care UK

Home Instead Senior Care is urging kind and compassionate people in the UK to join the wave of kindness sweeping the nation as it looks to employ a further 3,000 caregivers across the UK.

The global coronavirus pandemic is leading to the shedding of jobs across many sectors. With people aged over 70 being asked to socially distance and remain at home, Home Instead is able to offer a job boost as it looks for more caring and compassionate people to join its 212 local franchise teams.

Martin Jones, CEO of Home Instead Senior Care UK said: “We want to ensure we can continue to commit to caring for our older clients especially following the government’s advice to remain at home and socially distance; which inevitably will leave many elderly people unable to leave their homes or see the people who they may usually do day-to-day.

“We want to harness the community-spirit and kindness that is being demonstrated all over the UK right now, as those attributes are key to our workforce. In particular, we are seeking those who have recently lost a role in one of the sectors which are struggling at this time that might have transferable skills.

“There are so many people out there who could help us make a positive difference to older people through relationship-led care. We are urging them to step forward and contact our local franchise offices.”

In recruiting for these new roles, Home Instead wants to ensure that there are enough caregivers to deal with the increasing level of demand it is experiencing from clients, both new and existing. Home Instead provides training to all new recruits so no qualifications or experience in the area is needed. It is also recruiting for care managers, recruiters and schedulers. There are currently more than 3,000 new vacancies across the UK franchise offices.

As Home Instead Senior Care is caring for the older generation, new franchise opportunities are available to enable expansion into new areas where it can deliver its services to even more local communities.
