Senior Night Care Worker

**What your night might look like**

The daytime bustle has settled. Most residents are resting, but you're alert, ready, and keeping things steady.

You are leading the shift. Supporting the team. Checking medication. Making sure everything runs smoothly. You know that even in the quiet hours, the care continues. A resident might need reassurance, or someone might be up and unsettled. You handle it with calm and care.

You are also the senior on shift. If something comes up, you step in confidently. That steady leadership is exactly what the team and the residents rely on.

**In this role, you will**:

- Lead the care team through the night
- Support residents with dignity and respect
- Handle medication processes and audits
- Maintain records and ensure clear handovers
- Keep the environment safe and secure
- Step in for the manager or deputy when needed

**What you will need**:

- SVQ Level 3 in Health and Social Care
- SSSC registration (or the ability to register)
- PVG scheme membership
- Experience leading or supervising a team
- The ability to work within a Christian ethos

**What you will get**:

- A supportive team that values night shift leadership
- Ongoing development opportunities
- The chance to work towards SVQ Level 4 and PDA qualifications
- A stable role with real responsibility
