Relief Night Care Worker

As a Relief Night Care Worker in our care home, you will support older people overnight, helping ensure their comfort, safety and wellbeing throughout the night. Working flexibly to cover shifts when needed, you will provide consistent care and reassurance as part of the night team.

• Responding to call bells and supporting comfort needs
• Supporting hydration and repositioning where appropriate
• Maintaining a calm, safe and clean environment overnight
• Completing care records and night reports accurately

You will be reliable and compassionate, with a calm and patient approach that helps residents feel safe and reassured during the night. You will understand the importance of respectful, person centred care and working as part of a team.

You must be a member of the PVG Scheme and registered with the SSSC, or willing to join and register.
