As a night care support worker, caregiver, or nurse, you provide support to people with disabilities, acquired brain injury, and/or physical disabilities. Each night brings unique challenges and requires a flexible approach for diverse target groups. You ensure that clients feel safe while independently responding to their care needs. During the night, you perform checks and provide personal care. Sometimes you are confronted with hectic situations that require quick action.
You are never entirely alone, as a night care coordinator is always available as backup. The tasks in night care are diverse.
What you do
- You are the face of the night, preparing clients for the night and putting them to bed. You look beyond the care plan and focus on providing extra comfort.
- You perform actions such as medication administration, wound care, and support clients with their personal hygiene. You offer safety, structure, and build a relationship of trust.
- You provide a listening ear to residents who cannot sleep and are truly there for them.
- You act appropriately in unexpected events, such as a fall or an acute medical emergency, and quickly switch to other locations if additional help is needed.
The teams work at locations where people with acquired brain injury, physical disabilities, severe intellectual disabilities, or severe multiple disabilities reside.
What they ask Enjoyment is paramount in caring for and nursing people with disabilities. It is important that you enjoy contact with clients and want to contribute to their well-being.
