Village Assistant - Night Shift

At Summerset, from the moment we start developing a village, to when our residents call it home, it’s the passion and dedication of our people that brings our villages to life. We are one team united by being part of something bigger – to bring the best of life to our residents. 

We are looking for an exceptional Village Assistant to join our Milldale Village until January 2026.

In this sole-charge, overnight role, you will ensure the safety and security of the village and be ready to respond to any medical or emergency incidents that may arise.

You will be responsible for being the first point of contact for all Village related matters whilst on duty and more importantly providing a visible, reassuring presence overnight and ensuring our residents feel safe and supported while the village sleeps.

Key responsibilities include:

• Monitoring village security and respond to any unusual activity
• Providing a calm, professional first response to medical emergencies
• Liaising with emergency services when needed
• Maintaining clear communication with the Village Manager

You will be working 2 nights per week on Saturday and Sunday 12:00am - 8:00am.

You’ll be someone who brings a calm, confident presence to the role—comfortable working alone overnight, capable of thinking on your feet, and able to make sound decisions under pressure without hesitation. The role would suit University students, security guards or similar. 

We’re looking for someone who is:

• Confident working independently and making quick, effective decisions when needed
• A strong communicator who remains calm and composed in high-pressure or emergency situations
• Naturally responsible, dependable, and highly observant, with great attention to detail
• Able to build rapport and trust with residents
• Has a current First aid certificate and full drivers license

When you’re part of the Summerset team, you belong to a place where your work has real impact, who you are is fully embraced and where your career flourishes. We know it takes a collective effort to bring a village to life and help it thrive, so Summerset is a place where everyone’s uniqueness and diversity can shine.
