Company Description
Looking to make a meaningful difference in someone’s life? Now’s the perfect time to join Home Instead Kirklees as a Night-Time Care Assistant.
At Home Instead Kirklees, we believe great care can’t be rushed—which is why we offer a minimum of one-hour visits. This gives you the time to build real connections and provide the quality, unhurried care that our clients deserve.
Are you the kind of person friends and neighbours rely on—someone who listens, offers comfort, and instinctively knows how to help? That’s more than kindness—that’s the heart of a Care Professional.
We’re currently looking for compassionate and dependable individuals to support our clients during the evening and overnight hours. Whether it's offering reassurance, helping with bedtime routines, or simply being a calm and trusted presence through the night, your care can bring peace of mind when it’s needed most.
What we’re looking for:
Genuine empathy and patience
A calm, reassuring nature—especially during the quieter hours
Commitment to making a real difference in your community
We offer flexible hours, ongoing training, and the chance to be part of a team that truly values your care.
Areas we cover include: Mirfield, Skelmanthorpe, Huddersfield, Honley, Holmfirth, Golcar, Lindley, Kirkheaton, and Midgeley.
If you’re ready to develop your caring skills or take on a truly rewarding role, we’d love to hear from you.
