Caregiver NOC SHIFT 10 PM-630 AM

THE ROLE

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 wont pretend otherwise. Youll 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 youre the one who catches it first.

Its 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 youd 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.

THE SCHEDULE: WHAT 4 ON 2 OFF ACTUALLY MEANS

If you havent worked this kind of rotation before heres how it works:

You work four nights in a row. Then you get two days off. Then the pattern starts over. Four on two off continuously.

Because the cycle is six days long and a week is seven your nights off move through the calendar rather than landing on the same days every week. One cycle your nights off might be Tuesday and Wednesday; the next they might be Monday and Tuesday; eventually they land on a weekend. Everyone on this rotation gets weekends off regularly. They just come around on a cycle instead of every week.

What this means for you in practice:

• You get a two-day break every six days instead of working five straight and waiting for Saturday.
• You work about 20 nights a month rather than the usual 22 for full-time hours.
• Your schedule lives in an app not on a break room wall. You can see your rotation weeks ahead pick up open shifts when you want extra hours swap shifts directly with a coworker and request time off from your phone.
• You will work some weekends and some holidays. Were telling you that up front rather than letting you discover it later.
• Four nights in a row is genuinely easier on your body than scattered single nights. Your sleep gets a chance to settle into a rhythm instead of flipping back and forth all week.
• One honest note: this shift crosses midnight so a shift that starts Monday at 10:00 PM ends Tuesday at 6:30 AM. Well map out exactly how your four nights fall on the calendar before your first week.

Shift hours: 10:00 PM to 6:30 AM.

Full-time scheduled on a six-week rotation.

WHO DOES WELL HERE

Night people genuinely not people hoping to sleep through the shift. This job needs someone awake alert and moving.

Beyond that: people who are observant who can work without someone checking on them every hour and who stay calm when something happens at 3am and the first decision is theirs to make. Who can walk into a dark room where someone is frightened and confused and be the reason that person settles instead of escalates.

If youve been the person your family turned to when someone needed care you already have the part of this job we cant teach.
