Are you dedicated to providing exceptional care for older people during the night? We are looking for a compassionate Night Care Worker to join our team and ensure that our service users' needs are met with professionalism and empathy. In this role, you will provide wakeful night duty cover, act as a key worker for designated service users, and manage care plans with input from relevant stakeholders.

Your responsibilities will include assisting with personal and intimate care, supporting the use of aids and equipment, liaising with health professionals, and maintaining a high standard of the physical environment and personal effects. You will also help with monitoring nutritional needs, responding to emergencies, and participating in meetings as required. This position requires working on a rota basis, including weekends and evenings, and compliance with health and safety, financial procedures, and ongoing training.

The ideal candidate will have, or be willing to achieve, an SVQ 3 in Social Care and basic computer literacy skills. If you are committed to demonstrating Christian values in your care and are interested in this rewarding role, we encourage you to apply and join our supportive team.

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.

CrossReach has been at the forefront of high quality social care for over 150 years, providing loving care to people of all ages and supporting them to live life to the full whatever their circumstances. During that time, we have worked hard to understand the needs of the people who turn to us for help and with them have been at the forefront of pioneering services which have literally changed thousands of lives for the better.

Today we are one of the largest social care providers in Scotland, with experience across a broad range of services. We are still growing, learning, and improving, thanks to the incredible people we have the privilege to support, and all those who support us. We are part of the Church of Scotland and aim to provide social care services and specialist resources in Christ’s name to further the caring work of the Church to people in challenging circumstances.

As we do our work in Christ’s name you must be respectful of our Christian Ethos and be able to work within it.

This post requires you to be a member of the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme and undertake the necessary vetting checks. You will also be required to be registered with SSSC and it is your professional responsibility to ensure that you meet the standards and criteria for registration.

We have a legal obligation to ensure that we do not employ any worker who has not been granted the relevant permission to work in the UK.
