We're one of the largest not for profit care providers in the UK, specialising in providing high quality, person-centred care for older people, in care homes and extra care housing nationwide. At OSJCT we care about our residents and we care about each other. That means you'll enjoy great career development working for an expanding organisation. Because we're a not for profit trust, we invest every penny we make in the people who live in our homes and the people who work here too. This means better quality care and lovely homes for our residents, along with competitive wages and great training and development for our people. We provide outstanding care, working closely with leading experts on dementia and elderly care. And we're currently modernising our portfolio of care homes - refurbishing our existing homes and moving into new, inspiring, contemporary care homes too. As we expand nationwide, we need more people with the right mix of skills, passion and ambition to help us grow even more.
ABOUT THE ROLE
Are you an experienced carer with a preference to work nights? Our Domiciliary Night Care Assistants make a real difference to our clients every day; whether it's helping them with their routines or personal care or providing companionship, you'll play a vital role in ensuring they are leading happy and fulfilled lives. No two days will be the same, but all of our clients live in the same building, so you won't need to travel between different locations. In this role, you'll usually be the most senior person on site during your night shift and will take charge in the event of any emergencies that arise as well as keeping wakeful watch on the security and safety of our residents and the scheme in general. In joining us, you'll also become part of our extended family. You'll work alongside other team members who are passionate about providing care, warmth and kindness to all those who live and work in our schemes.
Mayott House is situated on Ock Street, Abingdon close to all the shops and leisure facilities this attractive Oxfordshire town offers, with easily accessible public transport.

ABOUT OUR SCHEMES
Our Extra Care Housing schemes, also known as assisted living, are made up of self-contained one or two-bedroom apartments, all carefully designed and built to help clients live as independently as they can. With their own front door, clients can come and go as they please, socialise with neighbours in the communal areas or enjoy their own company in privacy. Within each housing scheme our care teams are on hand round the clock to support our clients with daily tasks and activities.
ABOUT YOU
You'll be managing the night shift on your own, so you'll need to have previous experience of either caring for a vulnerable individual or working in a residential care setting and will be comfortable in taking charge. It would be great if you hold or are working towards a Diploma/NVQ Level 2 in Health and Social Care or equivalent. In addition, you'll be good at communicating with people, compassionate with a can-do approach, you'll enjoy working as part of a team, be keen to learn and will want to excel at your job at all times. If you think you have the right skills and attitude to deliver the highest quality of care for our residents as a Domiciliary Care Assistant within our Extra Care Housing division, then you could be next to join us.
