Hear what our brilliant Care Professionals have to say…

“I have been working for Home Instead Swansea now for almost 5 months, and I absolutely love my job. I have never worked in care before now, so it’s quite different to the jobs I’ve had in the past. There are lots of opportunities to progress and get more skills. The hours are great and work perfectly for me around my family…” – N.B., Care Professional

“I had always worked in retail and felt undervalued, so I wanted to do something that was worthwhile. I was very unsure but the whole process was seamless. The recruitment process and training were very informative and easy to navigate and gave me the confidence to work in a field I had never worked in before. I am 7 months on and I can honestly say I absolutely love my job. I could never imagine doing anything else...” – K.D., Care Professional
