About the role

You'll be supporting two people, a gentleman and a lady in their 50s and 60s, to enjoy a safe, comfortable and reassuring night in their home.

The gentleman has cerebral palsy and communicates in ways other than words. Building a good understanding of his individual communication style will help you recognise his needs, preferences and routines, ensuring he feels heard, respected and supported.

The lady has epilepsy, which is well managed with medication. She enjoys the reassurance of having consistent, attentive support available during the night, giving her and those around her peace of mind.

As a Waking Night Support Worker, you'll work independently as the sole member of staff on shift, carrying out regular checks, providing personal care when required, supporting with mobility needs using single-person hoisting, and responding calmly and confidently to any support needs that arise overnight.

Every night, you’ll help create a safe, calm, and comforting environment for the people we support.  

Your role will include: 

• Carrying out regular “keeping safe checks” to ensure everyone feels secure and comfortable.  
• Maintaining a clean, hygienic space so that the environment is welcoming and safe.  
• Recording important information using our easy-to-use IT systems – from support plans to health and safety logs – so we can provide the best care possible.  
• Creating a therapeutic, reassuring atmosphere that promotes wellbeing throughout the night.  
• Supporting people to enjoy their late evenings or nights in ways that matter to them.  
• Providing personal care when needed, always with dignity and respect. 

About you

• Care deeply about people and want to help create safe, positive nights for those who need support.  
• Value inclusion and respect, treating everyone with dignity and kindness.  
• Stay calm and reassuring, even when things feel challenging – your presence makes a difference.  
• Enjoy working independently but also feel part of a team that shares the same purpose.  
• Are comfortable using technology to keep accurate records and follow support plans.  
• Can provide personal care when needed, always with empathy and understanding.  
• Bring flexibility and reliability, knowing that your role is essential to someone’s wellbeing.
