Make a Difference at Belong

At Belong, we believe everyone deserves to live well, age well and feel a true sense of belonging.

We're looking for compassionate and reliable Night Support Workers to join our team in (Village). Supporting older people, including those living with dementia, you'll play an important role in helping customers feel safe, valued and supported throughout the night.

As part of a close-knit household team, you'll provide practical support, reassurance and companionship while promoting independence, dignity and choice. Whether you're assisting with personal care, supporting mobility, responding to individual needs or simply taking the time to listen, you'll help create a calm and welcoming environment where customers can thrive.

At Belong, our values shape everything we do. We care from the heart, treat everyone with dignity and respect, work together to achieve the best outcomes, strive to be our best every day and create a better tomorrow for our customers and communities. We're looking for someone who shares those values and wants to make a genuine difference.

What You'll Bring

You'll have previous experience working in an elderly care home setting, care environment or similar health and social care setting, and hold a Care Certificate, NVQ in Health & Social Care, or an equivalent health and social care qualification, as required for this role.

You'll be kind, dependable and committed to delivering high-quality, person-centred care. You'll be a strong communicator who enjoys working as part of a team and building positive relationships with customers, families and colleagues. You'll also be confident working independently during periods of lone working while remaining connected and collaborative with the wider team. Experience supporting older people or individuals living with dementia, together with experience working within an elderly care home setting, would be beneficial, although not essential.
