Female Waking Night Care Assistant (Complex Care) – Crantock

Bluebird Care Mid & West Cornwall is rated Outstanding by the Care Quality Commission. Our TDDI complex care service supports customers with complex health needs at home, with clinical oversight from our own Registered Nurse. We are looking for a female Waking Night Care Assistant to support one customer in Crantock for 21 hours a week on a settled rota. You will be awake and alert through the night, giving personal care, PEG feeding, suctioning and repositioning, and watching for any changes in comfort, breathing and wellbeing. This is a female-only role under Schedule 9, Part 1 of the Equality Act 2010.

You have at least one year of complex care experience and are kind, calm and dependable. You are confident working alone through the night and willing to be trained and signed off in PEG feeding and suctioning. You need a full UK driving licence and a reliable vehicle, as there is no public transport to Crantock at these hours. Your experience could come from a hospital ward, hospice, children’s complex care, live-in care or caring for a family member.

Your shift starts with a handover, then you settle our customer for the night. Through the night you stay awake and attentive, repositioning, supporting with PEG feeding and suctioning, and responding calmly whenever you are needed. You keep clear records and hand over to the team in the morning.

Bluebird Care Mid & West Cornwall provides professional home care, live-in care, complex care, and children’s support across Cornwall. We’re passionate about helping people live independently in their own homes while creating a rewarding and supportive environment for our team. Every day, our carers make a real difference, delivering person-centred care with compassion and professionalism.
