Support Worker Waking Nights

5 days ago

Abingdon, United Kingdom MacIntyre Full time

**Are you looking for night time work? Could you support people with learning disabilities?**

The people we support are very active during the day and may want to chat about their activities and what they've been up to before they go to bed. What they really need, is someone who is available 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.

Your role will also include cleaning duties to ensure the home is tidy for the morning. This is an important role to make sure people feel safe at all times and not vulnerable during the night so this is more about providing an emotional reassurance

You'll support three young men; Ben, Joe and Gary*, who live gloriously ordinary lives in Abingdon.

Ben has a great sense of humour and is full of chat and banter, although he needs some peace and quiet as well. He's a good swimmer and enjoys swimming with other people. He enjoys train travel, shopping and he’s a fast walker Joe knows his own mind and how he wants to live his life, which includes a love of music. Gary is a beautiful, warm human being who loves horses, nature and art.

You don't need experience: we provide extensive free training. You'll receive a competitive salary of £11 per hour and a range of benefits including access to the valuable Blue Light discount card.

**About you**

You don’t need any particular experience or qualifications. We sometimes find people with an interest in psychology do well in this role, or perhaps you're considering a specialist career supporting autistic people.

You will need a manual driving licence (the men have their own cars). You'll be a ‘people person’, creative, flexible and have bucket loads of initiative and great resilience.

**About us**

MacIntyre is a national charity which supports over 1,200 people with a learning disability and/or autism.

We were founded in 1966 by the visionary parent of a child with disabilities and have been growing steadily ever since. We celebrate and develop everyone’s unique gifts, talents and contributions.

**Pay and Rewards**

We provide a range of benefits to reward and thank our staff which includes:

- Six weeks' annual leave including statutory public holidays
- Workplace Pension scheme - MacIntyre will contribute 3% of your salary to all eligible employees
- MacIntyre Staff Savings Scheme
- Employee Assistance Plan (EAP) to support your health and wellbeing
- Health Cash Plan which provides money back on core health treatments such as: optical, dental, physiotherapy, chiropody (at reduced cost)
- MacIntyre Sick Pay (qualifying period)
- Life assurance scheme offering valuable benefits to your dependents
- MacIntyre Rewards Scheme which recognises and rewards staff
- MacIntyre Perks which offers up to 6% discount off leading retailers including Tesco, Curry/PC World, Costa and many more
- Access to the Blue Light Card which offers thousands of amazing discounts online and on the high street for emergency and social care staff.
- Enhanced DBS Certificate (cost paid by MacIntyre)

**How to apply**
