Private Overnight Carer Needed for 95-Year-Old Father (Brighton/Hove Area

We are looking for some kind, reliable, and patient overnight carers to support my 95-year-old father, who is living with Alzheimer's.

He is fiercely independent and has coped wonderfully living at home with daytime care, but we are now looking to add overnight support to ensure he stays safe and well.

​At this stage, the role is primarily sleep-in/presence-of-mind support. He generally sleeps through the night, but he has experienced a couple of falls in the past and needs someone present to ensure he is safe, offer reassurance if he wakes up a bit shaken, and provide a secure presence through the night.

​Shift Details:

​Hours: Approx. 10-hour shifts (e.g., 9:00 PM – 7:00 AM, timings and renumeration can be discussed).

Days: TBD but I anticipate a few days a week.

​Accommodation: A comfortable, separate private bedroom will be provided for your use during the shift.

​Workload: Very light during the night; most of the shift will actually be sleeping time.

​About You:

​Kind, empathetic, and patient, with a gentle approach to dementia care.

​Experience in caregiving (or relevant personal/professional experience).

​Reliable, trustworthy, and comfortable handling occasional night waking or reassurance.

​References and a valid DBS check (or willingness to obtain one) will be required.

​If you are a local carer looking for steady overnight hours and want to help a lovely gentleman safely stay in his own home, we would love to hear from you.

Please reach out with a bit about your experience and availability.
