Job description

Age Concern Hampshire are looking for home helpers in Locks Heath and surrounding areas with experience in cleaning or even care work.

Do you want to make a real difference in older peoples lives? This role is flexible and we have hours to suit you from part time hours to full time hours.

What is the Help at Home Service?

This self-employed position of Home Helper is very rewarding and flexible. Our Home Helpers choose which clients to take on and once allocated, they visit the same clients regularly so they get to know them. Visits are booked for a minimum of one hour.

Our Home Helpers support our clients (aged 50+) with general cleaning, laundry and ironing, bed linen change, shopping, helping to cook a light meal or snack, prescription collection and companionship. Personal care is not part of the Help at Home Service.

The needs of the clients will be assessed by the Help at Home Co-ordinator prior to allocating the visit to ensure you are not expected to carry out work outside of your remit. You will be provided with guidance regarding keeping yourself and your client safe, including Covid19 safety guidance, and the Co-ordinator will inform you of any potential risks that have been identified in clients’ homes.

Who can become a Home Helper for Age Concern Hampshire?

We are looking for individuals who are:

  • Compassionate and empathetic
  • Excellent communicators and can build rapport easily
  • Trustworthy, conscientious, reliable and punctual
  • Flexible and able to show initiative
  • Good listeners

Experience in either cleaning or caring lines of work is essential. Ideally you will have experience of working with older and disabled people, but most important is the desire to improve the lives of older people.

Home Helpers are registered self-employed and therefore responsible for paying their own tax, insurance and National Insurance contributions. No sick pay or holiday pay will be included. Work cannot be guaranteed starting out but schedules are gradually built up over a few months.

All Home Helpers will need to hold a drivers licence with own transportation.

All Home Helpers will need to have a satisfactory enhanced DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check. As part of your application process, we ask that you pay for a DBS check, costing £51.40, unless you already have one that is less than a year old and covers Adult Workforce.
