NIGHTSHIFT CARE ASSISTANTS – NEWLANDS CARE HOME, DUNFERMLINE

£13.10–£13.60 per hour with paid breaks (which is equivalent to £14.55–£15.10 with unpaid breaks)
Are you compassionate, reliable and motivated to make a difference?
Newlands Care Home is a small, family-run home in Dunfermline, and we are looking for two Nightshift Care Assistants to join our dedicated team.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

  • Reliability is essential – our residents depend on us, so we are looking for people with a strong work ethic, low sickness levels, and a commitment to being part of the team
  • Previous care experience (ideally in a care home and/or nightshift)
  • A caring, friendly and respectful approach – able to put residents at ease
  • Patience, resilience and the ability to stay calm in challenging situations
  • Strong communication skills and a good sense of humour
  • Commitment to completing SVQ2 (if not already held) within 5 years
    It’s preferable that candidates live locally or have their own transport. Please check public transport options for nightshift before applying.

REQUIREMENTS

  • PVG membership (we can arrange this if needed)
  • SSSC registration within 3 months of starting (we will support you with this)
  • Please note: we are not able to offer sponsorship at this time
Responsibilities
  • Nightshift runs 10pm–8am (occasional 8pm starts)
  • You will be rostered in advance and work alternate weekends
  • You’ll provide personal care, reassurance and support to residents, ensuring their dignity, comfort and safety at all times
  • This is a physically demanding role and requires a good level of fitness and good time-keeping
  • Flexibility is important – additional shifts may be available to cover absence or holidays
  • We can also offer dayshifts to gain additional shifts should the candidate be available
