We are currently looking for a compassionate and experienced Night-Time Care Assistant to join our dedicated team at a well-established care home in Littleover. This is a rewarding opportunity to provide essential overnight support to our elderly residents in a warm and welcoming environment.

As a key member of our night staff, you will play a vital role in ensuring the comfort, dignity, and safety of residents living with age-related conditions such as Dementia and Alzheimer’s, as well as those receiving respite care. Your responsibilities will include conducting regular well-being checks, assisting with personal care for both male and female residents, supporting mobility needs using equipment such as hoists, slings, and rotundas, responding promptly and compassionately to call bells, and carrying out light domestic duties to maintain a clean and safe environment.

If you do not currently have a valid DBS or up-to-date training, don’t worry—we can help. We offer online training at a subsidised fee, and the certificates are yours to keep.
