About the Person You'll Be Supporting & Your Role

We are currently seeking a female Waking Night Support Worker to support a young woman in her early 20s with a diagnosis of a physical degenerative condition (TS), alongside severe learning disabilities and epilepsy. She is non-verbal and presents with complex behaviours, including frequent vocalisations and episodes of self-injurious behaviour, which can occur both during the day and night. She wears headphones due to sensory sensitivities and recurring ear infections. Support is provided on a 1:1 basis, with 4 hours of 2:1 on non-college days. She attends college in Stonehouse via taxi and benefits from a structured routine. Her known triggers include food, boredom, and pain, and a Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) plan is in place to guide her care. The ideal candidate will be calm, observant, and confident in managing complex behaviours, with a proactive approach to supporting her comfort and wellbeing during night hours.

Due to her preference and the nature of the support required, this position is open to female applicants only (Exemption under the Equality Act 2010, Schedule 9, Part 1)

What We’re Looking For

We're looking for a caring, patient, and reliable individual who is passionate about supporting others. You'll be calm under pressure, able to follow care plans consistently, and committed to providing safe, person-centered support.
