Why work for Hands on Hand Home Care?

Working in care isn’t just a job – it’s a chance to change someone’s day, every day. At Hands on Hand Home Care, you’re never just a number on a rota. You’re part of a small, supportive team where everyone knows your name and appreciates what you do.

The benefits of joining our team

  • Family-run, friendly team
    Work closely with a small, local team who genuinely support each other and value your ideas.

  • Local work across Teignbridge
    We keep your travel sensible and focused around the Teignbridge area, helping you balance work and home life. 

  • Flexible visit lengths
    We offer visits from 30, 45 and 60 minutes right up to 8-hour days, allowing for meaningful time with clients and more varied shifts. 

  • Genuine relationships with clients
    See the same people regularly, build trust and get to know them and their families – this isn’t “in and out” rushed care.

  • Training and development
    Learn from experienced team members, with opportunities for ongoing training in areas like personal care, moving & handling, medication awareness and more.

  • Make a real difference
    From shopping and errands to personal care, companionship and days out, you’ll help people stay independent and happy in their own homes.

What the role involves

Our Personal Assistants support clients with a wide range of day-to-day tasks, which may include:

  • Shopping and local errands

  • Companionship and days out

  • Domestic visits and light housework

  • Meal preparation and support with eating

  • Packing and prescriptions

  • Personal care and help with mobility 

You don’t need to have done all of this before – the most important things are kindness, reliability and a willingness to learn. Full training and ongoing support are provided.

Who we’re looking for

You’ll be a great fit for Hands on Hand Home Care if you:

  • Are caring, patient and a good listener

  • Are happy working in people’s homes

  • Can work some early mornings, evenings and/or weekends

  • Are comfortable travelling around the Teignbridge area

  • Want a role where your work really matters to people

Previous care experience is helpful but not essential – many of our best team members come from other backgrounds and discover how rewarding care can be.
