Live-In Care Assistant
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Nov 15, 2026. First seen by Alion on Jul 10, 2026. Home Instead scores B on the Alion truth index.
We are looking for Live-In Care Assistants to cover Folkestone, Hythe and surrounding areas and Ashford, New Romney and surrounding areas.
As a Live-In Care Assistant, you will 'live-in' with the Client for an agreed amount of time (the length of time is dependant on specific Client needs)
Working for Home Instead we hope will give you a tremendous sense of pride and work fulfilment as you are able to impact the lives of vulnerable people in our communities.
Working in our care team is more than just a job, we are one family and we support each other. We pull together to help each other in helping others and we are all working towards one goal-to help people live their best life, no matter their age, ability, health or state of mind.
Do you have the skills to be an amazing Care Assistant?.
Each day will be different, and you’ll need to think on your feet-whether it’s helping a client with mobility, assisting them with daily routines like bathing and dressing, or simply sitting down to enjoy a cup of tea together.
You will need a listening ear, ready to hear incredible life stories, and sometimes, offering a simple chat to brighten our clients’ day. And providing an extra pair of eyes when needed, to keep track of medication, or helping a client find their glasses.
You don’t need to be a Michelin star chef, but if you can make a cup of tea and help prepare a light meal, you’re just who we need. You might also be called upon to help with light housekeeping or organising their home so that it’s safe and comfortable.

- Great pay rates of £910 to £1200
- Career development opportunities

- Care Certificate Qualification
- Pension
- Birthday Gift
- Annual Appraisal Gift

- Access to our Employee Assistance Programme

Previous experience of working within a Residential or Nursing Home setting or Home Care Setting. You will also need to be caring, compassionate and a good listener.
