If you're caring, reliable and looking for a role where you can make a meaningful difference while helping people feel safe and supported through the night, we'd love to hear from you.

About the role

We're looking for a compassionate Female Waking Night Support Worker to join our team in Sutton Farm, Shrewsbury (SY2), supporting four young adults to live happy, independent and fulfilling lives.

Every individual has their own personality, preferences and routines, and you'll play an important role in helping them feel comfortable, reassured and supported overnight.

As a waking night colleague, you'll remain awake throughout your shift, carrying out wellbeing checks, supporting night-time routines and ensuring a calm, safe environment. The role may include personal care, supporting independence, record keeping and preparing for the day ahead.
