After working as a teaching assistant for over 20 years, I knew I needed a change for the last decade of my career. The light bulb moment came when I met a Care Coordinator discussing help and support with an elderly neighbor of mine.
I had also heard a glowing report about the respect and care given by Home Instead to a dear friend’s mother when she was very ill. All these factors led me to make the move. I now work with such kind and considerate people, and each day, the clients make me smile.
I love this role and would definitely recommend inquiring if you are interested in a rewarding career!
Kath (Care Professional)
“I cannot thank the whole team of Care Professionals enough! To say they all went above and beyond in their care for our family is an understatement and we are indebted to them for the way in which they made a very difficult time much more bearable. It felt as if each member of the team became not just someone who provided a service (which they did and very professionally), but a friend and I’ve missed seeing them since Dad’s passing. Each one is an absolute credit to Home Instead!”
Claire E (Daughter of Client)
My Home Instead experience so far has been amazing! From the interview process right through to the training, I was made to feel very welcome and supported! The training sessions were great, very informative. Coming from a retail background, it was a fantastic opportunity to learn and grow the skills I needed to become a Care Professional.
The role has been exactly what I expected. All of the clients I have met so far have been so lovely, and I love being there to support and help them stay in their own homes. It truly is a very rewarding job!
Sam (Care Professional)
I have been a chef for 15 years, and working for Home Instead gives me a feeling of freedom. I really enjoy traveling around and meeting with lovely clients. The job is rewarding, my work-life balance is a lot better, and my colleagues are great. I’m really looking forward to learning more and working with Home Instead for many years.
Thomas (Care Professional)
What a privilege it has been to work with Rachel and the team at Home Instead Kendal! We first met when we won the opportunity to have a ‘mini garden makeover’ in February 2022. From that moment on I have been most impressed with the determination and drive of Rachel and her team to get things done.
We continued our partnership when we invited Home Instead clients and their carers to come and work alongside Bee Team members to plant trees for the Queen’s Jubilee. What a beautiful and memorable afternoon that was with young and old working together across the generations, in the glorious sunshine, enjoying both gardening and companionship. A simple act but very special indeed!
Karen H, (Heron Hill Primary School)
“Home Instead have been visiting my Mum for about 6 months. This is the first time she has needed some extra support in her home and was anxious about it. The whole team are very professional and make my Mum feel special.
I know my Mum looks forward to their visits and is always happy to tell me about her time with the carers. Mum has Alzheimer’s and can become anxious. The care visits give her a plan for her week and something to look forward to. I know she is happy and safe when I can’t be there.”

Palliative care is an option that your clinical team may suggest if you or a loved one have received a diagnosis of a serious or terminal illness, such as cancer, lung disease or Alzheimer’s. Our Care Professionals can provide support that will alleviate discomfort and stress and allow a better quality of life.
- How soon should palliative care begin?
Palliative care can be started at any stage of a serious illness, though it can be recommended to start as early as possible depending on the diagnosis and the treatment required. After finding out what treatments are required you can be easily make an informed decision on when palliative care is needed.
- Is palliative care the same as end of life care?
Not necessarily. While palliative care can include end of life care, it is certainly not always the case and can last for a longer period of time. Some people are able to live comfortably for many years while receiving palliative care. The focus is always providing support as you need it to allow you to carry on with your daily life within the limits of your condition.
Discover More - Will palliative care cause me to lose independence?
Our Care Professionals understand that maintaining your control over your daily life is important. Depending on what care you need for your condition you may need help with a few things or more help with a lot of your usual tasks. The level of help required is likely to change over time, but Home Instead will be there to ensure you keep as your independence for as long as possible.
- Should I continue palliative care after successful treatment?
During your illness you may receive successful treatment from your clinical team. Depending on the outcome of this treatment you may no longer require palliative care, however it may be beneficial to continue for a short while. During the recovery process it can be beneficial to you and your loved ones to have some relief from the physical and emotional stress a serious illness can cause.
