Join a team that feels like family.
Quiet hours. Real care. Work that means something.
We’re looking for a Night Healthcare Assistant to work at one of our care homes. We want someone who brings calm, kindness and presence. Someone who knows how to help people feel safe and settled, even in the small hours.
Nights are quieter, but the care is just as important. You might help someone into bed, offer reassurance, or simply sit with someone who doesn’t want to be alone.
If you’re reliable, gentle and want meaningful work with a team that supports you, we’d love to hear from you.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
We know how important it is to feel supported and appreciated. Here’s what you can expect:
- Work with people who care and have your back from day one
- Get paid to train. No experience needed
- Earn while you learn with fully funded qualifications
- Grow your career with support every step of the way
- Enjoy free snacks, drinks and meals on shift
- Take paid breaks and get a free uniform throughout your time here
- Access to the Vivup Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) for confidential wellbeing support
- Discounted ferry travel to make commuting easier and more affordable
- Leisure membership discounts to support your health and wellbeing
- Free snacks and drinks available while on shift
- Attendance bonus of an extra 50p per hour when all contracted shifts are worked each month (T&Cs apply)
- Enhancements paid for weekends, nights & NVQ’s/Diplomas
- £12.30-£13.53 + enhancements for night shifts, £1 per hr overtime
- 0 hours pick & choose to cover holiday & sickness
What Your Night Could Look Like
Nights are peaceful but important. Here’s what your shift might include:
- Help residents settle in with warmth, dignity and care
- Check in gently and respond to any needs overnight
- Offer quiet comfort such as a drink, a pillow, or a kind word
- Keep rooms clean and restful with fresh sheets, light snacks and calm spaces
- Support residents who wake or need help to rest
- Write clear handover notes so everyone stays in the loop
What We’d Love You to Bring
You don’t need experience. Just the right attitude. We’ll teach you the rest.
- You’re calm, patient and dependable, especially in quiet moments
- You treat people with dignity and kindness, no matter the hour
- You’re a good listener with a gentle, reassuring presence
- You enjoy working quietly as part of a close-knit team
- You’re happy to learn and open to feedback
- Care experience or NVQ Level 2 is helpful, not essential
