Waking Night Support Worker for Imogen

Imogen is looking for a night owl, a support worker, who can stay awake all night. You might like crime documentaries or movies but whichever it is, you must have the capacity to stay awake all night and respond if needed.

Essential for this role: Hold a full UK drivers licence and have your own car

Hours: 16 hrs (8h per night) (1am to 9am)

You will need to be someone who is very resilient, Imogen needs consistency, not someone who will give up on her when things get tricky. Imogen is very bright; she can be funny and inquisitive, and she loves to mend and fix things. Unfortunately, at the moment, she is drinking much more alcohol than is good for her and this is causing her some problems. As a waking night worker, you will have to support Imogen when she is under the influence of alcohol this is why it is important that you are someone who can keep calm, someone who can shrug things off and not take it personally if Imogen becomes argumentative.

She needs you to be in control, but she also needs you to be kind and have some understanding of how her life experiences have impacted on her.
