Make a Difference Every Day: Join Our Home Care Team in West Lothian
Looking for a job that’s meaningful, flexible, and people-focused? Explore a rewarding career in home care with Home Instead West Lothian.
If you’re the kind of person who enjoys helping others, loves a good chat, and wants to do something that genuinely matters, a role in home care could be exactly what you’re looking for. At Home Instead West Lothian, we help older and vulnerable adults stay independent in the comfort of their own homes, surrounded by the things and people they love.
But we can’t do it without compassionate, reliable people like you.
What Does the Job Involve?
You don’t need to be a nurse or have a background in care to get started. In fact, many of our Care Professionals come from completely different walks of life. Whether you’ve raised a family, worked in retail, hospitality, or are returning to work after a break – what matters most is that you’re kind, dependable, and ready to make a positive impact.
As a Care Professional, you’ll support clients with everyday activities like:
✔ Helping with washing, dressing, or getting ready in the morning
✔ Making a cuppa and enjoying a friendly chat
✔ Preparing light meals or helping with shopping
✔ Accompanying clients to local places like the park or pharmacy
✔ Offering a listening ear and a familiar face
We take a different approach from many care providers – we don’t rush our visits. Each appointment is a minimum of one hour, so you’ll have time to do your job and build real relationships.
