Are you kind, reliable and looking for work where you can genuinely make a difference to someone’s life?
Home Instead Westminster & City of London is looking for caring and dependable people to join our team of Care Professionals, supporting older people to remain safe, independent and comfortable in their own homes.
We believe good care should never feel rushed. That is why our visits are a minimum of two hours, giving you the time to get to know your clients properly, build trusted relationships and provide the standard of care you would want for your own family.
Whether you already have experience in care or are considering care work for the first time, we would be pleased to hear from you.
What does a Care Professional do?
Every client is different, but your role may include:

Helping clients move safely around their home
