At Bluebird Care Mid & West Cornwall, we support people to stay in the place they love most – their home.
For customers with complex needs, especially overnight, that means calm, attentive care delivered with patience, reassurance and dignity.

We’re looking for a Waking Nights Female Care Assistant to support a female customer with complex needs in her own home in St Austell.

You don’t need previous complex care experience.
You do need kindness, reliability and the confidence to provide reassurance through the night.

What the role involves

As a Waking Nights Care Assistant, you’ll be part of our team of Care Experts, supporting one customer overnight in her own home so she feels safe, settled and supported.

Your role will include:

• Personal care, delivered sensitively and with dignity

• Supporting overnight routines, comfort and positioning

• Medication support and monitoring, in line with care plans

• Repositioning and pressure area care

• Gentle reassurance and companionship during the night

• Remaining awake and alert throughout the shift

This is a one-to-one role, allowing you to build consistency, trust and understanding with the same customer.

Pay, mileage and progression

• £12.24 – £18.36 per hour, depending on experience

• Paid induction training and full role-specific training

• Ongoing support from a local office team who know you by name

• Opportunities to develop your skills in complex and specialist care

What we offer you

We know waking night work requires commitment and emotional awareness, so we focus on looking after our team properly.

You’ll receive:

• Full paid training, whether you’re new to care or returning to it

• Consistent overnight shifts with a regular customer

• A car hire scheme, if needed

• Blue Light Card – access to nationwide discounts

• 24/7 employee wellbeing support

• Annual recognition awards and employee referral bonus

• A role where you’re treated with respect and appreciation

What we’re looking for

We’d love to hear from you if you:

• Are calm, patient and dependable

• Take pride in delivering care with attention and respect

• Feel comfortable working waking night shifts

• Hold a full UK driving licence and have access to a car

• Have the right to work in the UK

Most importantly, you care about people and want to help them feel safe and supported at home, even through the night.
