A NEW service specialising in caring for older people in their own homes has opened its doors in Peterborough and owners Phil Kennedy and Amy Haggis are hoping to create 40 new jobs in the area within the next year.
Home Instead Senior Care, based at Blenheim Court, in Peppercorn Close, will offer non-medical at-home care for older people living within Peterborough and the surrounding areas.
For Phil and Amy, this exciting new venture is a change from their previous lines of work but will fulfil a life-long ambition of working together whilst being able to give something back to the community. The couple are really looking forward to building a business which helps people in the local area.
Amy said: “Although Phil has a background in financial services, and myself in procurement, we have always wanted to find a career which would allow us to help others. Having struggled to find quality care for Phil’s relatives and feeling concerned about the limited service available, when we heard about Home Instead, we knew it was the right opportunity for us.”
She added: “Home Instead’s ethos of providing the highest-quality care for older people to allow them to live independently in their own homes is something that we both feel passionate about. We are really excited about bringing this service to our area and providing a person centred care service which is built around the requirements of each individual.”
The couple are now on the look out for like-minded people to join their team.
Phil added: “We need people who want a rewarding and flexible career delivering care to people in their own homes. We offer full training so experience is not necessary but candidates must be caring, compassionate and keen to learn.”
The Home Instead opening follows very recent news of the creation of Peterborough-based Axiom Crossroads Care which is set to bring up to 100 new jobs within three years.
Of this new investment in the city, Neil Darwin, director of economic development at Opportunity Peterborough, said: “It’s encouraging to see this necessary investment in Peterborough’s economy, not least because of our ageing population and the need to build infrastructure to meet growing demand”.
