As a Senior Night Care Worker, you'll play a vital role in ensuring residents receive safe, high-quality care throughout the night. Combining hands-on support with leadership responsibilities, you'll help create a calm, reassuring environment where residents feel comfortable, respected and well cared for.

• Deliver high-quality personal care and support to residents
• Administer medication in line with policies and procedures
• Carry out regular wellbeing and safety checks
• Monitor residents' changing needs and respond appropriately
• Maintain accurate records and complete shift handovers
• Promote a safe, comfortable and supportive environment throughout the night

About you:

You will be an experienced care professional with a genuine commitment to supporting older people to live well. You'll be confident leading shifts, supporting colleagues and making sound decisions when required. Strong communication skills, compassion and a calm approach are essential. You must hold an SVQ Level 3 in Social Services and Healthcare and be willing to work towards, or already hold, an SVQ Level 4 qualification. This role requires membership of the PVG Scheme and registration with the SSSC.
