Company Description:
Summerset is preparing to open the doors to its brand-new retirement and care facility in Cranbourne North. A stunning addition to our already vibrant village community in New Zealand. With its beautiful location this new space will be the jewel in our crown. We’re looking for a friendly, energetic Personal Care Worker to start with us for 8 weeks as our Night Village Assistant to help bring it to life before transitioning to our care team.

You’ll be our onsite after‑hours first point of contact across the village. Sole‑charge while on duty, to support residents and respond to any emergencies. Sleepover shifts typically involve active work 5pm–9pm, then on‑call while you sleep from 9pm–7am (with a sleep allowance), and weekend finishes with further work hours of 7am-10am. We’re hiring two team members and a casual position to cover 7 nights between you of 2–5 nights each.
