Full Job Description

As a Waking Night Support Worker, your role will be crucial in helping her through her nighttime anxieties. On particularly restless nights, she may require companionship, redirection, or simply a calming presence. You'll support her in settling back into the bungalow or engaging with her "twiddles" (small distraction toys) to ease her heightened anxiety.

She sometimes wears continence pads at night, but during heightened anxiety, she may remove them, causing discomfort and extra support needs. On such nights, your patience and understanding will be essential in maintaining her dignity and comfort.

Shift Patterns & Teamwork

Shifts can be flexible, but for waking nights, you'll work between 9pm and 7 am. The team works closely together, especially during her more anxious periods, to ensure she receives the consistent, calm, and compassionate support she deserves.

Why Join Us?

This role offers a rewarding opportunity to be part of a supportive team making a real impact. While driving isn't necessary for waking night shifts, it's important that you're able to adapt to her needs, especially during periods of heightened anxiety.

This opportunity is to support an amazing woman with limited verbal communication but an incredible ability to express herself and read people well. She uses simple structured sentences, visual aids, and Makaton for communication.
