Bank Night Care Assistant - Brighstone Grange

Quiet hours. Real care. Work that means something.
We’re looking for a Night Healthcare Assistant to work at one of our care homes. We want someone who brings calm, kindness and presence. Someone who knows how to help people feel safe and settled, even in the small hours.
Nights are quieter, but the care is just as important. You might help someone into bed, offer reassurance, or simply sit with someone who doesn’t want to be alone.
If you’re reliable, gentle and want meaningful work with a team that supports you, we’d love to hear from you.

Keep rooms clean and restful with fresh sheets, light snacks and calm spaces
Support residents who wake or need help to rest

What We’d Love You to Bring
You don’t need experience. Just the right attitude. We’ll teach you the rest.
You’re calm, patient and dependable, especially in quiet moments
You treat people with dignity and kindness, no matter the hour
You’re a good listener with a gentle, reassuring presence
You enjoy working quietly as part of a close-knit team
You’re happy to learn and open to feedback
