• Provide reassurance and companionship to residents who may feel anxious, unsettled or require emotional support during the night.
• Monitor residents' condition, accurately record observations and promptly report concerns to the Night Senior Care Assistant or Night Care Team Leader where appropriate.
• Maintain accurate and timely care documentation in accordance with company policies and regulatory requirements.
• Respect and maintain the confidentiality of all resident information at all times.
• Assist with preparing residents for bed and supporting those who wake during the night or require assistance.
• Help prepare the home for the day ahead, ensuring communal areas remain clean, tidy and welcoming.
• Support with light housekeeping duties, laundry and bedroom preparation where required.
• Work collaboratively with colleagues to maintain a calm, safe and supportive environment throughout the home.
• Comply with Health & Safety, COSHH, Infection Prevention & Control, Safeguarding and all relevant health and social care legislation.
• Undertake any other duties appropriate to the role as directed by the General Manager.

• Is reliable, dependable and able to work confidently throughout the night.
• Can remain calm, professional and responsive in emergency situations.
• Is committed to delivering outstanding care and treating every resident with dignity and respect.
• Previous care experience is desirable but not essential, as full training will be provided.
