Care assistant in hospital regularly feels pressure (4,4)

I believe the answer is:

home help

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'care assistant' is the definition.
'home help' can be an answer for 'assistant' (I have seen 'Domestic assistant ' mean 'home help' so perhaps 'assistant' could also mean 'home help'). I am not certain of the 'care' bit.

'in hospital regularly feels pressure' is the wordplay.
'in' becomes 'home' ('he's in' can mean 'he's home').
'hospital' becomes 'H' (abbreviation for hospital on maps).
'regularly' indicates alternate letters (regularly take one letter, leave next etc.).
'pressure' becomes 'p' (scientific abbreviation).
The alternate letters of 'feels' are 'el'.
'home'+'h'+'el'+'p'='HOME-HELP'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for home help that I've seen before include "hand?" , "Social worker" , "Carer" , "Domestic assistant" , "Assister for the disabled" .)
