Night Care Assistant – Bournemouth, Christchurch & Poole
£15.13 per hour for Waking Nights (incl. holiday pay) £75.04 per Sleep-in shift (incl. holiday pay)
Are you caring, reliable, and comfortable supporting someone during the night? Abicare is growing its Homecare service across the Bournemouth, Christchurch, and Poole area, and we are looking for Night Care Assistants to provide safe, reassuring, and person-centred support to people in their own homes.
We have opportunities covering both Waking Night and Sleep-in shifts.
Waking Night shifts: You will be expected to remain awake, alert, and available throughout the shift. Our current overnight packages operate between approximately 11pm and 6am.
Sleep-in shifts: You will be provided with appropriate sleeping arrangements and are expected to sleep unless the client requires support during the night.
About this role
As a Night Care Assistant with Abicare, you will support people to remain safe, comfortable, and independent in their own homes overnight.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Depending on the individual care package, your role may include:
- Supporting with personal care, including toileting, washing, and changing where required
- Supporting bedtime and morning routines
- Providing reassurance and companionship during the night
- Responding appropriately when a client wakes or requires assistance
- Supporting with mobility and safe transfers
- Medication support in line with the individual care plan and your training
- Monitoring the client’s wellbeing and responding to any changes or concerns
- Completing clear and accurate care records
- Following care plans, risk assessments, and agreed procedures
- Maintaining a calm, safe environment throughout the night
- Working independently while knowing that support is available when needed
What we are looking for
You do not need to have worked in professional care before. More important to us is that you are:
- Caring, patient, and compassionate
- Reliable and able to work independently
- Comfortable providing personal care
- Calm and confident when responding to someone during the night
- A good communicator
- Able to follow care plans and accurately record the support provided
- Comfortable with lone working

Night care can be demanding, and we want applicants to understand the reality of the role before joining us. You may support someone with personal care, disrupted sleep, illness, or changing needs during the night. In return, you will have the opportunity to provide reassurance and support when someone may need it most.
If you are dependable, compassionate, and interested in becoming part of our Bournemouth, Christchurch, and Poole team, we would like to hear from you.
