Empty Nesting? Discover a new opportunity with Home Instead Tyne Valley
As your children leave for university, discover a new purpose as a Care Professional with Home Instead Tyne Valley. Use your life skills to make a difference.
As autumn unfolds and universities across the UK open their doors, many parents find themselves adjusting to a new chapter of life, one that brings an empty nest. While there's immense pride in seeing your child embark on their next adventure, it can also bring a sense of loss or uncertainty.
At Home Instead Tyne Valley, we have team members who have used this phase of life as an opportunity for reinvention and a new sense of purpose. Becoming a Care Professional could be the perfect way to fill the gap, bringing both fulfilment and personal growth for you too.
Time for personal growth and reinvention
For many parents, this transition can bring space to focus on their own personal development. After years dedicated to raising a family, or juggling a career and children, it’s a chance to rediscover your interests, explore new opportunities, and engage in something truly meaningful.
Being a Care Professional not only offers the chance to give back to your community but also allows you to continue growing and learning, all while making a positive impact on the lives of others.
For some, this is the ideal time to return to work, particularly for those who may have stepped back from full-time employment while raising children. The role of a Care Professional at Home Instead Tyne Valley is well-suited to individuals re-entering the workforce, especially as it builds on many of the skills parents already use every day. With a variety of hours available, you can also find a schedule that fits around your other commitments, making the transition back into work life smoother.
Transferable skills from parenting
If you’ve spent years organising a household, supporting your children, and managing various schedules, you’re already well-equipped with many of the skills needed as a Care Professional. From preparing meals and administering care to providing companionship and emotional support, you likely have many of the skills needed to provide quality care and companionship for older adults. At Home Instead Tyne Valley, we recognise the value of life experience and believe it plays a vital role in delivering compassionate care.
Making a difference in the community
We really believe that few roles are as rewarding as being a Care Professional. In the villages and towns of the Tyne Valley, you’ll be able to work locally, within a close-knit rural community, where your efforts can make a significant difference to the lives of older adults. Whether it’s assisting with daily tasks or simply providing companionship, your role will have a direct, positive impact on someone’s quality of life. The bonds you build with clients can often become as meaningful as familial relationships, offering you both a sense of purpose and the joy of making a tangible difference in your community.
Comprehensive training and support
Starting a new career can feel daunting, especially if you haven’t worked in the care sector before and you may have many preconceived ideas of what care is. That’s why Home Instead Tyne Valley offers comprehensive training and support from day one. Our induction programmes are designed to equip you with everything you need, from the basics of care to specialised modules in dementia or mobility support. You’ll also have access to continuous learning opportunities to further develop your skills. Beyond training, you’ll find a supportive team ready to guide and encourage you through every step of your journey.
Here’s what one of our current Care Professionals has to say:
"From the day I started, I have been made to feel so welcome. I have had extensive training for my role and get loads of support from the owner and the office staff. If you get an opportunity to be a part of Home Instead, you should take it. It really is a great place to work." Home Instead Tyne Valley Employee
