About the Role
As a Night Care Practitioner, you’ll ensure the comfort, safety and wellbeing of our residents throughout the night, supporting a calm, restful environment while maintaining high standards of care.
Your responsibilities will include:
Providing person‑centred care in line with individual care plans
Supporting residents with nighttime personal care, including continence care, repositioning and ensuring comfort

Monitoring the home environment, including infection control, cleanliness, and safety checks
Working collaboratively with the night team and escalating concerns to senior staff or nurses when needed
What We Are Looking For
If you’re a natural night owl who thrives in calm, quieter hours and enjoys providing focused, one‑to‑one support, you’ll fit right in.
We’re especially keen to hear from candidates with previous care experience, particularly in night care, dementia support, or personal care.
However, we will also consider applicants without experience if you have:
A genuine passion for helping others
A caring, patient and empathetic nature
The motivation to learn and grow in the care sector
We’re looking for reliable team players who are committed to delivering excellent, person‑centred care — whether you’ve worked nights before or are just starting your journey.
