About the role:

As a Waking Night Support Worker you’ll be supporting adults with learning disabilities to live the best life possible. In these roles, everything you do will enable people to have choices about their own lives, creating flexible services that meet people’s needs and always looking for the best way of doing things.

Waking Nights Support Workers are required to remain awake throughout the night to support individuals with personal support needs as required.

They provide 24/7 support to some people, so this role would suit you if you like the idea of working shifts and hours that include some weekends and Bank Holidays.

About you:

You don’t need experience as a Support Worker or any special qualifications for this job – you’ll get plenty of training along the way

It is helpful if you already have experience of learning disabilities, autism or dementia but this is by no means essential as you will be given a comprehensive induction, full training and support. What matters most is your positive attitude to life and your desire to support people to live their own life with as much independence, choice, dignity and control as possible.

Due to the rural nature of the area a full UK / EU driving licence is preferable but not essential.

STRICTLY NO AGENCIES PLEASE

You may have experience of the following: Support Worker, Charity, Charities, Third Sector, Learning Disabilities, Social Care, Voluntary Sector, Mental Health Worker, Healthcare Assistant, Care Staff, Community Development, Care Worker, Vulnerable People, Social Worker, Not for Profit, NFP etc.
