Night Social Care Worker | Home Social Care Worker | Home Carer (Sitting) - Mid Devon
Night Social Care Worker Top
Working hours: Full-time or part-time
Job type: Permanent
Benefits: Mileage allowance, Company Health scheme, Company Mobile plus NVQ Training.
Salary - £7.46 - £9.41 / hour
Are you looking for a flexible and rewarding job? Becoming a social care worker offers caring and reliable people the chance to work the hours they want, whilst having a positive impact in their local community.
The valuable service we provide helps our service users stay in, or return to, their own homes in Taunton Deane and the surrounding area. Whilst Carewatch offers a full range of Homecare services, this role seeks people who are looking for night time work caring for clients in their own homes, either via Sleep Ins or Waking Nights. Please be aware that many of these nights provide palliative care to people in their last few weeks or days of life.
These night shifts start at around 2200 and finish around 0700. For Sleep Ins, we provide our clients with the reassurance of a member of staff being present for them should they be required. A bed will be made available, and whilst staff may well be required to get up one or two times in the night to assist our clients, they will be able to sleep. Waking Nights, as the name suggests, requires staff to stay up and be available for clients who may require frequent assistance throughout the night.
Whilst experience of care is both welcome and an advantage for this role, it is not essential as we offer a full programme of induction training.
Carewatch offers employees a generous tax-free mileage allowance, a staff medical benefit, company mobile phones and the opportunity to gain NVQ qualifications paid for by the company. Enhanced pay rates are offered to staff with an NVQ2 qualification or higher in care. As our work is based in the community and requires staff to travel to our client's homes it is preferable to have your own transport.
Carewatch has been assisting people in Somerset & Mid Devon for the last eleven years and seeks to provide the very best quality of care in our area and always seek to accommodate our Service Users requirements. As a result we are seeking those special people who share our desire to improve other people's lives
Carewatch is registered with The Care Quality Commission (CQC) and is accredited with both Somerset and Devon County Councils. The company is based in Taunton, but also has a Supervisor located in Tiverton.
All positions are subject to receipt of two excellent references and a satisfactory Enhanced CRB Disclosure.
Carewatch is an equal opportunity employer.

We pride ourselves on the high standards of care delivered by our staff and how they place service-users and their well-being at the centre of everything they do.
Do I need experience?
