Provide reassuring, practical overnight care that helps local people remain safe and comfortable in their own homes.
Overnight care is about more than simply being in the house. It means being ready to provide calm, practical support whenever the person you are caring for needs you.
As an Aurora Night Care Giver, you may help somebody prepare for bed, support them during the night and then help them start their morning. The exact routine will depend on the person and the support they need.
You don’t need previous care experience. What matters most is that you’re dependable, patient, comfortable working independently and genuinely want to help people live well at home.

On-call support is available. If you need advice or support during a night shift, Aurora’s on-call support is available to help.
