Care Assistant - Nights

The Role

At Leuchie, we do things a little differently.

We’re a forward-thinking and innovative healthcare charity providing exceptional respite holidays for adults with long-term neurological conditions. Our guests come to Leuchie to relax, have fun, spend time with family and friends, and enjoy experiences they may not otherwise have the opportunity to access.

As a key member of our multi-disciplinary care team, you’ll play an important part in making those experiences possible. You’ll provide person-centred care while supporting guests throughout their stay, including personal care and evening activities.

This is a 24-hour per fortnight position, working Friday and Saturday, with every second weekend off.

It’s a great opportunity for someone looking for a regular part-time pattern with plenty of time off between working weekends.
