Be There When It Matters Night Support Worker- Supporting Young People
Come and join us as a Waking Nights Support Worker in St Albans and you'll soon see what makes this work so rewarding!
You'll join the expanding team at our residential children’s home in St Albans, where we provide support for up to five children and young people, aged 11 to 18, who have learning disabilities and complex needs.
You'll be available when they are wakeful at night and check at regular intervals to ensure they are comfortable and getting a good night's sleep ready for school or college the next day. You will need to provide support with intimate care. This is an important role to make sure the young people don’t feel vulnerable during the night, especially those who are in new surroundings.
Full-time hours are 38 hours a week
About you
It would be helpful if you have experience working with people with learning disabilities in a care setting, but this isn’t essential as we will provide a full induction and ongoing training and support from your line manager and our expert teams.
You will need to be a driver with a UK Manual Licence for this role.
