Night Nanny

Overview of role: The shift starts at 9.30pm and following a handover from Tom's day carer, or Mum or Dad, you will assist and support Tom in getting ready for bed and setting up his sleep system and his video monitor. You will soothe and calm Tom, ensuring he is comfortable and help him settle into a good night's sleep. The monitor is connected to the carers' bedroom so you will be alerted if Tom needs assistance during the night. This role is an On-call (or 'resting') night. Tom can experience periods of wakefulness and require comforting to nod back off to sleep, however, you will be able to rest throughout the night. On occasions when Tom is poorly the shift may revert to a full waking night, additional pay is offered. In the morning you will support Tom with his personal care (washing, dressing etc.), before he has his breakfast. This role offers 2 nights per week, Tuesday and Thursday, with the opportunity to work additional shifts to cover annual leave or sickness. Tom

travels to Devon (for one week) during the Summer holidays, and you have the opportunity to join him if desired. Additional day hours are paid up to £17.00 gross per hour, DOE.

Who this job would suit: A kind, committed, empathetic, and considerate Night Carer with a passion for supporting and caring for others. For this role, you must be a driver, with a car (due to the location of the family's home).
