Caregiver NOC SHIFT 10 PM-6:30 AM

Fair Oaks Estates•Carmichael, CA

21h•Onsite

About The Position

Fair Oaks Estates is hiring a full-time overnight Caregiver, the NOC shift, in Carmichael. Nights are quieter, but they are not easy, and we won’t pretend otherwise. You’ll be the one awake while our residents sleep: doing safety checks, turning and repositioning, answering call lights, helping people to the bathroom at 2am, and keeping someone who wakes up confused and frightened calm until they can settle again. With a memory care neighborhood here, nighttime wandering and disorientation are a real and regular part of this shift. When something goes wrong at night, you’re the one who catches it first. It’s a genuine responsibility, and it suits a particular kind of person: steady, observant, self-directed, and comfortable working with less supervision than the day shifts have. If you do your best thinking in the quiet, and you’d rather be trusted than hovered over, this shift tends to be a good fit. To be clear about scope: medications at Fair Oaks Estates are handled by our Med Techs, not by caregivers. Your job is direct resident care.
