Fixed-Term Waking Night Care Assistant – New Milton
Join Serendip Home Care and provide dedicated support for one client
About Us
Serendip Home Care is a small, friendly care provider based in New Milton, supporting older people across the New Forest, Hampshire, and Dorset. We are dedicated to delivering high-quality, person-centred care with heart.
The Role
We are seeking a compassionate Waking Night Care Assistant to support one of our clients in New Milton. This is a fixed-term, one-to-one role with night shifts from 10:00 pm – 8:00 am.
Our client may wake several times during the night (up to five times), so your reassurance and practical support will be key in helping them feel safe and comfortable.
Due to the nature of this care package, the contract length is uncertain. However:
* There is a possibility of extension if another care package becomes available.
* There may also be an opportunity to join us permanently for day shifts as part of our wider care team.
What You'll Do
* Provide one-to-one care and support throughout the night.
* Assist with mobility, personal care, and reassurance as needed.
* Monitor the client's well-being and respond promptly when they wake.
* Keep accurate records of care provided and report any changes.
* Maintain a calm, safe, and supportive environment.
What We're Looking For
* A kind, patient, and reliable nature with a genuine passion for helping others.
* A valid UK driving licence (essential).
* Previous experience in care is helpful but not essential – full training is provided.
* Confidence working independently through the night.
* Strong communication skills and a caring attitude.
Why Join Us?
* Provide meaningful, one-to-one care.
* Be part of a supportive and friendly team.
* Receive full training and ongoing support.
* Gain valuable experience in a specialised role.
* Potential to transition into a permanent day-shift position with us.
