Home Instead is recruiting 4,000 home care workers

UK’s biggest provider of home care, Home Instead, is on the hunt for 4,000 care workers to meet the growing demand for home care.

Home Instead, which has seen its revenue double in the last five years, is creating the new ‘career positions’ to meet the 30 per cent year-over-year increase in demand from families looking to self-fund care provision for themselves or loved ones.

Recent census data showed population figures in the UK hit a record high, with the number of over-65s surpassing under-15s for the first time ever.

Martin Jones, Home Instead’s chief executive, said: “We’re growing and developing our workforce to meet a very clear demand. More and more of us want to live well in our own homes as we age. With the right care and support this is fully achievable and will extend healthy life expectancy, reduce inequalities, and take pressure off the NHS.

“We’re actively recruiting across the UK to meet market demand and as an employer we offer something different. We’re passionate about empowering our employees with better training, quality of work and career prospects.”

The company has introduced enhanced training for specialist diseases, such as dementia and Parkinson’s, in addition to clinical training to help allocate more health tasks to care workers in the home.

Home Instead carries out minimum visits of an hour and is a national franchise currently consisting of 224 locally owned and operated offices which together deliver over 8.1 million hours of care to over 21,000 people and employ over 13,000 staff.

In August 2021 Home Instead was acquired by Honor (a technology provider), bringing together the largest home care network and the leading care technology platform.
