Overview
We are seeking a dedicated and caring Waking Night Support worker for beautiful and friendly residential and supported living service at Vallance Gardens BN3 2DD, supporting adults with learning disabilities and associated health needs. This role will be 4 x 10 hr shifts. This recently refurbished service has 7 bedrooms across two floors with fully accessible wet rooms and bathrooms. There is a large communal area for individuals to socialise with others, including an open plan living room, dining room and kitchen. There is a large garden where a lot of leisure and social activities take place, especially during the summer. The people we support are at the heart of everything we do - they are wonderful individuals and deserve to be treated with respect, dignity and choice. Our main priority, therefore, is to find support workers with values, behaviours and attitudes to match our own. Could this be you? Our services operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and many of the people we support require support during the night. You will be expected to ensure people are supported to gain a good night’s sleep, monitoring any concerns in relation to disturbed sleep patterns and follow relevant support plans designed to promote sleep and wellbeing.

Please note our Waking Night Support Workers are required to remain awake and vigilant throughout their night shift, even breaks. You will be required to check on residents as required by their care plans, and provide any support needed.

Above all you need to be kind, caring and ready to work as a team to ensure that our services are comfortable, happy, fulfilling and safe places to live.
