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.
Responsibilities
- Provide personal care and assistance with routines as needed during night shifts
- Offer companionship and support to residents
- Monitor safety and security of the scheme and residents
- Take charge in emergencies when on duty
- Collaborate with other team members to ensure high-quality care
About our schemes
Our Extra Care Housing schemes, also known as assisted living, are made up of self-contained one or two-bedroom apartments, designed to help clients live as independently as possible. With their own front door, clients can come and go, socialise in communal areas or enjoy privacy. Our care teams are on hand round the clock to support clients with daily tasks and activities. Mayott House is situated on Ock Street, Abingdon, close to shops and leisure facilities with easily accessible public transport.
About you
You’ll be managing the night shift on your own, so you’ll need previous experience of either caring for a vulnerable individual or working in a residential care setting and will be comfortable 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. Additionally, 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. So, apply and get your career started with us today.
