The Role

Night shifts are generally quieter, but they are still active and important. The role includes supporting people who choose to stay up, offering personal care where needed, and providing company, whether that’s a chat or making a snack together. There is also computer-based work, such as recording care plans and daily notes, so accuracy and attention to detail are important. Towards the end of the shift, you’ll help prepare for the morning by setting tables for breakfast and making sure the home feels like a home from home.
