  • Ongoing communication and support from a dedicated office team
  • Paid training and opportunities for continued learning and development
  • A supportive, people-first culture that values your contribution

  • Assisting with personal care routines (bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting, and daily routines)
  • Supporting mobility, safe transfers, and fall prevention techniques
  • Providing companionship and emotional support to reduce isolation
  • Preparing simple, nutritious meals and snacks
  • Completing light housekeeping and maintaining a safe home environment
  • Offering medication reminders according to care plans

  • A valid driver’s license and vehicle
  • Favourable professional references
  • Clear Vulnerable Sector
  • Ability to take the initiative
  • Collaborative team player
  • Passion for providing high-quality, relationship-based care

Why Join Home Instead?

This is more than a shift-based job—it’s a chance to build a career in community care where relationships matter.

At Home Instead, you’ll be supported by a responsive team, matched with consistent clients, and given the time and trust to deliver care the way it should be delivered.
