Are you interested in part-time night work that really makes a difference? We can offer 18 hrs per week Friday and Saturday nights. You ll join our friendly team in Warrington, providing night-time support to 2 amazing men who each have a learning disability. They would like someone to be there when they are wakeful at night, and to check at regular intervals to ensure they are comfortable and getting a good night's sleep ready for the next day. This will involve supporting with personal care and medication. You will be an emotionally reassuring presence, helping the gents to feel safe and secure at all times. You will also take on some cleaning duties to ensure they wake up to a tidy house. Intrigued to know a bit more about them?

He is keen on short walks, particularly if it involves finding somewhere nice to eat out. He has Diabetes, so he is supported to take a blood reading twice a day.
