Start Date: ASAP

Hours: 9:00pm – 5:30/7:00am

Location: Poulton

About the Role

We are looking for two compassionate, reliable Waking/Sleeping Night Carers to join a dedicated home care team supporting a bright, sociable and charismatic 12-year-old girl with complex physical, cognitive and health needs. She is the heart of a loving family and enjoys company, humour, and her favourite characters—Alvin and the Chipmunks

She requires 24/7 support and is totally dependent on others for all aspects of her care. She uses Eye Gaze technology to communicate, alongside simple yes/no signing, and receives all nutrition, fluids and medication via PEG. She is a wheelchair user, experiences seizures, and requires full assistance with moving, handling, and personal care.

Key Responsibilities

  • Provide attentive, responsive overnight care, remaining in the client's room throughout the shift
  • Support with repositioning, comfort measures, pain management and personal care
  • Monitor her closely throughout the night, as sleep can be unpredictable
  • Begin the morning routine from 6:30am (depending on shift end time)
  • Maintain accurate records and complete a detailed handover at the end of every shift
  • Work collaboratively with a supportive, professional care team

Essential Experience

  • Experience supporting a client with complex physical and cognitive disabilities
  • Competent with complex care routines including PEG feeding/medication administration
  • Confidence supporting a young person with seizures
  • Ability to deliver safe and respectful moving and handling support

This Role Would Suit

  • A calm, resilient, and compassionate individual
  • Someone experienced in complex paediatric care
  • A carer who is committed to providing person-centred, high-quality support
  • Someone open to completing one day shift per month, helping to build rapport, support activities, and participate in therapy sessions

Why You'll Love This Role

  • You'll be supporting a wonderful young girl with a huge personality who brings joy and humour to her team
  • Become part of a close-knit, supportive care team
  • Opportunities to develop strong professional relationships
  • A rewarding role where you can make a meaningful impact each shift

Job Types: Full-time, Part-time

Pay: Up to £16.00 per hour

Expected hours: No less than 20 per week
