Job Description:

At The Bungalow in Stonehaven, our night team plays a crucial role in making sure adults with profound and multiple learning disabilities are safe, comfortable and well cared for through the night.

This is a residential care home that offers more than just practical support. It’s a calm, structured and welcoming environment where every individual is treated with dignity, kindness and respect. And you’ll be right at the heart of it.

What your nights will involve:

• Providing personal and intimate care, always with compassion and discretion
• Supporting residents with the use of specialist equipment
• Responding to needs promptly and sensitively throughout the night
• Maintaining a safe, clean and peaceful environment
• Recording notes and updates clearly and accurately
• Offering emotional reassurance and spiritual support in line with our values
• Working as part of a small, supportive night team who really care about getting it right
  

What we’re looking for:
You’ll be calm, observant and reliable, with a caring nature and a steady approach. Previous experience in a care setting is helpful, but not essential if you bring the right attitude and a willingness to learn.

You’ll also need:

• Basic IT skills
• An SVQ Level 3 in Social Care or the commitment to work towards it
• Registration with the SSSC and membership of the PVG scheme (we can support you with this)
  

Whether you’ve worked in care before or are looking to start something new, if you’re someone who’s reliable, compassionate and ready to support others overnight, we’d love to hear from you. Apply now and help us make every night a safe and reassuring one

We also offer you a range of benefits that you would expect from an organisation that support others.

Firstly, there is access to a wide range of exclusive retail and leisure discounts through our rewards scheme and the Blue Light Discount card. We also ensure that your future and that of your loved ones is secured with a generous contributory pension plan and death in service benefit. Balancing work and family are made easier with our suite of enhanced family friendly policies and your health and wellness are prioritised with access to our health cash plan, giving you cash back for a wide range of health treatments. We even have access to a care concierge service to assist you with life's challenges, providing invaluable support when you need it most.

But we also know that your training and development is important to you, and as well as a contribution to your professional membership fees, we are keen to support you in making the right steps to learn, grow and develop in ways that are right for you.
