Recruiter

Home Instead is the top home care company in the UK, renowned for the quality of care we provide our clients in their own homes.

Our offices are located in Saintfield and Newtownards, and this role will involve days working at both locations, with the additional option of 1-2 days per week working remotely. Our team of Care Professionals support clients from Greater Belfast to Lisburn to Bangor to Newcastle, Co. Down. We have been active in this local community since 2015 and our mission is to brighten the lives of seniors giving them a sense of purpose, wellbeing & worth. Our mission statement is 'With warm and thoughtful care, we help you live your best life' - we believe this applies both to the clients we support and to our team of employees.

Our office team is close-knit, multi-skilled and adapatable - but we have come from all walks of life and not all of us had a background in care prior to joining Home Instead.
