Hey everyone,
I’ve just applied for a Night Care Assistant job because I need placement hours while I’m working through my Level 4, 5, and 6 in Healthcare. I’ve worked in care before, but honestly my last experience wasn’t great.
At my old care home, I never had a proper induction – I was just thrown straight into the numbers from day one. It left me feeling like I was constantly second-guessing myself, with loads of anxiety about whether I was doing something wrong or if I’d get judged for asking questions.
I really want to do well this time round, and I’m hoping this new place will give me proper training and support. Has anyone else gone through this kind of experience? And for those working nights – any advice on what to expect, or how to manage the shift pattern?
