Jobs boost in East Cheshire for caring and kind-hearted caregivers

Local home care provider, Home Instead Senior Care, which provides care to older people in their own homes across East Cheshire, has announced their plans to recruit 20 caregivers as the demand for care services spirals.

The global coronavirus pandemic is leading to the shedding of jobs across many sectors, particularly those in hospitality, with businesses closing their doors. With people aged over 70 being asked to socially distance, Home Instead can offer a jobs boost for local people as it looks for more caring and compassionate people to ensure continuity of its care service.

Steve Akroyd, the co-owner of Home Instead East Cheshire commented on the current situation. He said, “We want to throw a lifeline out to people who might have been made redundant or asked to reduce their hours in the wake of the coronavirus. The pandemic has caused distress, anxiety and worry to many people, and as a company that cares for the elderly, we need you more than ever.”

Steve continued, “Our service is personalised-based and people don’t need to have experience as full training is provided. What is crucially important, is that people have the right attitude and a caring and empathetic nature.

“We would like to reassure everyone that we are taking all recommended safety measures and are continuing to adhere to government’s advice whilst doing as much as we can to care for our clients.”
