3 weeks ago


Retford, United Kingdom CV-Library Full time

A vacancy has arisen for a permanent Waking Night Support Worker to be based within our residential services for autistic adults in Retford.

Experience in working with people with autism or learning disabilities would be an advantage.

The Waking Night Support Worker will be responsible for the welfare and security of the service users and building through the night. The successful applicant will need to liaise with care staff and contact the on-call manager during the night should the necessity occur.

There will also be a responsibility for laundry work, general caretaking duties, cleaning and domestic duties. The night officer will also have a responsibility to assist in the preparation of breakfast.

You’ll find this is a rewarding job, which promises variety as no two days are ever the same.

If you have experience as a support worker, care assistant, nursery assistant, or personal care assistant or have worked in the NHS, health care or in social care, this position will be suited to you too.

Our support is 24/7. The working pattern is on a rolling rota and includes a variety of shifts - early, lates, sleep-ins, weekends, bank holidays and flexible shift patterns.
