The role?

If you don't know the ins and outs of the bank day and night carer role, not to worry, let's walk through a typical day and night.

Day Shift

Once you arrive at the home, you will be asked to sign in and to collect your digital care plan device for the day. There will be a morning handover, where our team on nights will let you know how everyone has been through the night and the managers on the day will let you know if anything is scheduled for that day. After that, it is time to get busy and you may start by helping people up from bed, to freshen up and to put on a nice outfit for the day.

After helping everyone with their breakfast, they may want to watch a bit of morning TV, read a magazine with a warm drink, or take part in the planned activities or events on the day. But every day is different, and we are all here to make sure everyone is cared for and to make a difference.

You will help anyone who may require assistance to use the facilities and to fulfil their daily living.

Throughout the day you will also have the opportunity to take allocated short breaks and a break for lunch too.

By late afternoon and in to the evening, some of our residents may wish to go to bed, have an evening bath or to get ready for bed. After a busy day, this is always a good time to reflect and give company to those that you have helped and cared for.

Night Shift

Once you arrive at the home, you will be asked to sign in and to collect your digital care plan device for the night. There will be an evening handover, where our team on the day will let you know how everyone has been through the day and the manager on the day will let you know if anything is scheduled for that night. After that, it is time to get busy, some of our service users may wish to go to bed, have an evening bath or to get ready for bed.

You may also be asked to help fix up an evening snack or plate and hot or cold drink. All of which is available to everyone around the clock. After a busy day, our service users may wish to put their feet up and watch a bit of evening TV or read a good book with a warm drink. But every night can be different, so we work around the clock to make sure everyone is cared for and to make a difference.

Throughout the night you will be checking on our service users who require night time support or attending to our service users who request your assistance. There will be plenty of opportunity for you to take allocated breaks and a break for food and drink too.

By late evening you may start to clean the communal areas and by early morning some of our service users may wish to get up and ready for the day ahead.
