Job description
Bank Night Support Worker
Location: Appletrees, Grantham, Lincolnshire
Rate of Pay: £13.10 per hour, Weekend enhancements available
Hours of work: Bank / Flexible hours available
ABOUT THE ROLE
Bank contracts are not temporary, but they are flexible. They don’t have any guaranteed hours so when we do offer you work it’s your choice to work or not. This gives you the flexibility to work around your other commitments, such as your studies, another job or caring for family members. Or if you a looking to gain experience in the care sector without making a permanent commitment, or to simply ‘keep your hand in’ if you are partially retired; bank contracts are an excellent option for you.
Are you an experienced Support Worker with a preference for working nights?
Our Support Workers make a real difference to our residents every day and your professionalism, teamed with kindness and compassion, will be at the core of everything you do. Responsible for keeping wakeful watch on the security and safety of our residents and the home in general, you’ll also be supporting residents with their personal care needs and providing companionship. You’ll be expected to carry out light household duties to ensure that the household and resident’s rooms are kept clean and tidy, involving residents where it’s appropriate to do so. You’ll understand that some shifts might be challenging, but you’ll also laugh, have fun and make lasting memories with our residents.
In joining us, you’ll also become part of our extended family. You’ll work alongside other team members who are passionate about providing care, warmth and kindness to all those who live and work in our homes.
Appletrees is a 64 bed Care Home situated in Grantham. The home offers compassionate residential, intermediate, dementia and respite care in a comfortable, homely setting.
AND IN RETURN
The Trust is a great place to work; we’ve been providing care for almost 1,000 years and we’re currently the second largest not-for-profit provider in the UK. Not-for-profit means that we reinvest every penny we make into our residents, colleagues and the care homes we live and work in. Therefore, we offer a great range of benefits, including a competitive salary, training and development.
Here are some of the other benefits you’ll enjoy as a valued member of our team:
• 28 days holiday (including Bank Holidays)
• Higher rates of pay at weekends
• A workplace pension
• Free uniform

All candidates will be required to have an enhanced DBS which is on the update service. All offers are conditional upon satisfactory background checks.
ABOUT YOU
Ideally with, or working towards, a Diploma/NVQ Level2 in Health and Social Care or equivalent, you’ll have a previous experience of elderly care and a commitment to providing high quality care standards for older people.
In addition, you’ll be good at communicating with people, compassionate with a can-do approach and enjoy working as part of a team. You’ll be keen to learn and will want to excel at your job at all times, so we’ll provide all the support you need to start your career with us - all delivered in a nurturing, engaging and rewarding environment.
