Summary
Domiciliary Night Care Assistant Location: Shotover View , Oxford Pay rate: £13.44 per hour (plus weekend and NVQ enhancements available) Contracted Hours: 20 hours per week Shifts: 9pm - 7am Waking Night Shift, Friday and Saturday nights ABOUT THE ROLE Are you an experienced carer with a preference to work nights? Our Domiciliary Night Care Assistants make a real difference to our clients every day; whether it’s helping them with their routines or personal care or providing companionship, you’ll play a vital role in ensuring they are leading happy and fulfilled lives. No two days will be the same, but all of our clients live in the same building, so you won’t need to travel between different locations. In this role, you’ll usually be the most senior person on site during your night shift and will take charge in the event of any emergencies that arise [as well as
keeping wakeful watch on the security and safety of our residents and the scheme in general]. In joining us, you’ll also become part of our extended family. You’ll work alongside other team members who are passionate about providing care, warmth and kindness to all those who live and work in our schemes.

AND IN RETURN The Trust is a great place to work; we’ve been providing care for almost 1,000 years and we’re currently the second largest not-for-profit provider in the UK. Not-for-profit means that we reinvest every penny we make into our residents, tenants, colleagues and the care homes and schemes we live and work in. We keep our colleagues safe with plenty of PPE, offer a great range of benefits, including a competitive salary, and invest in
training and development. Here are some of the other benefits you’ll enjoy as a valued member of our team: * 28 days holiday (including Bank Holidays) * Higher rates of pay at weekends * Workplace pension * Life assurance * Comprehensive induction, ongoing training and development * Free uniform * Free DBS * Free car parking * Refer a Friend scheme rewarding you up to £1000 for every recommendation you make who successfully starts working for us * Access to our Employee Assistance programme * Care Worker Charity membership for well being and financial aid * Blue Light Card and “My Rewards” programme, offering you discounts on shopping, days out, restaurants and much more ABOUT OUR SCHEMES Our Extra Care Housing schemes, also known as assisted living, are made up of self-contained one or two-bedroom apartments, all carefully designed and built to help clients live as independently as
they can. With their own front door, clients can come and go as they please, socialise with neighbours in the communal areas or enjoy their own company in privacy. Within each housing scheme our care teams are on hand round the clock to support our clients with daily tasks and activities. (Scheme name) is a (no of apartments) Extra Care Housing scheme situated in (insert location).. We’re rated (insert rating) by Carehome.co.uk and (insert rating) by the Care Quality Commission. ABOUT YOU You’ll be managing the night shift on your own, so you’ll need to have previous experience of either caring for a vulnerable individual or working in a residential care setting and will be comfortable in taking charge. It would be great if you hold or are working towards a Diploma/NVQ Level 2 in Health and Social Care or equivalent. In addition, you’ll be good at communicating with people,
compassionate with a can-do approach, you’ll enjoy working as part of a team, be keen to learn and will want to excel at your job at all times.
