Group Home Care Worker

A full-time care position dedicated to night shifts at Nichii Care Center Shimorenjaku, a group home for people with dementia. Residents live together in units of nine, with at most two units per home, and their care levels vary in a small, homelike setting.

Night duty is the core of the job: regular rounds of the floor, looking after residents' personal needs during the night (including physical care), and related tasks such as preparing breakfast. Night shifts are expected roughly ten or more times a month, and daytime hours may occasionally be assigned for training, meetings and similar. Staff also support residents with meals, bathing and toileting as each person needs.

Applicants are expected to hold one of the following: the Initial Training for Care Workers certificate (介護職員初任者研修), the Practical Training for Care Workers certificate (実務者研修) or the Certified Care Worker licence (介護福祉士). The posting also says applicants without a qualification can take the initial training after joining at effectively no cost, so whether a certificate is needed to apply is unclear.
