About Us

At Home Instead Swansea, we do care a little differently. We’re not about rushed visits or ticking boxes — we’re about proper conversations, genuine relationships, and helping older adults stay happy, comfortable, and independent in their own homes.

From companionship and personal care to specialist dementia and Parkinson’s support, our friendly local team makes a real difference to people’s lives every single day.

Being a carer is more than helping with practical tasks. It’s about being a friendly face, a good listener, and someone our clients can trust.

You’ll support with:

• Light housekeeping
• Medication reminders
• Personal care (washing, dressing, grooming, changing of incontinence pads, etc)
• Shopping or errands
• Friendly chats and companionship

Whether you’re studying health, nursing, social work, social care, psychology – or just want to make a real difference – this role offers more than just a payslip.

All we ask is that you are:

• Kind, patient, and compassionate
• Friendly and reliable
• Confident working independently
• Great at building relationships and making people feel comfortable

This role is subject to an Enhanced DBS check and two professional references.

Please note that we do not offer sponsorship transfers for this role.
