Shropshire Council are inviting tenders to meet the needs of service users at night. The scheme requires two carers and one vehicle who can travel to any household within the allocated area to provide support between 10pm and 6.30am. The service is required 7 days per week. This support may include assistance for personal care, getting into bed at a later time than when regular carers are available, reassurance if just home from hospital or for other reasons and repositioning. This scheme enables care support to be provided to a number of people throughout the night. The group of people supported will vary according to need.

The Council is seeking to appoint 1 provider per market town area: Whitchurch and surrounding area (within an approximate 15-minute radius), 1 car required for this area. Bridgnorth and surrounding area (within an approximate 15-minute radius), 1 car required for this area.
