Home Support Assistant / Eldery Support

Location: Edinburgh and surrounding areas.
Rate: £18 per hour

About the Role

We are looking for contractors to work with some of our eldery clients so experience working with this age group would be fabulous. There is no personal care involved as this is not a caring role. It's home support as outlined in the description below.

Join New Town Nests, a growing home-support service designed to make everyday life easier for our clients. We are so much more than 1 service and it's why our clients love us and our contractors love working with us too!

Think of us as our clients’ extra pair of hands at home. We are able to take care of all the household tasks they’d do if they had the time. From cleaning, decluttering, organising and laundry to errands, meal prep and dog walking, we cover it all!

We provide reliable, thoughtful support that helps homes run smoothly. As a Home Assistant, you’ll become a consistent and trusted presence in your clients’ homes. You won’t just clean, you’ll help create calm, organised spaces and build ongoing relationships with the people you support.

What You’ll Do

• Deliver high-quality cleaning and housekeeping
• Support with laundry, ironing, and bedding changes
• Help with organising, decluttering or other home tasks the client would like help with
• Keep kitchens, bathrooms, and living spaces clean and tidy
• Organise and reset rooms to maintain order
• Assist with errands and occasional pet care (including dog walking)
• Follow a regular routine while adapting to each client’s needs

The Service You’ll Help Deliver

Our support is flexible and tailored to each household:

• Long-term home support (regular weekly clients)
• Short-term help (during busy or transitional periods)
• One-off cleaning or decluttering sessions

You’ll usually work with the same clients each week, becoming someone they trust and rely on and be a part of how their home runs.

What We’re Looking For

• Previous cleaning or housekeeping experience.
• Experience with older age groups would be beneficial.
• Friendly, professional, and personable attitude.
• Strong attention to detail and time management.
• Reliable and confident working independently.
• Comfortable around pets (especially dogs).
• Full UK driving licence and access to a car.

What We Offer

• £18 per hour
• Flexible part-time hours (Please note, we cannot accommodate term time hours as we have regular weekly clients so need regular availability. )
• Consistent clients where possible
• Supportive and friendly team
• Self-employed with monthly bank transfer payments
• Referral bonuses
