About the Role: Waking Night Support Worker

Waking Night Support workers help the people we support to feel safe and secure throughout the night. Delivering exceptional care and individualized support ensures that our residents live as independently and safely as possible.

Homersham is a Supported Living service, a short walk away from the vibrant hustle and bustle of Canterbury. It has 7 tenants, 6 men, and 1 lady aged between 21-28. There are 4 self-contained flats and 3 ensuite bedrooms with a shared communal area.

Our tenants participate in a wide range of activities in the community, such as bowling, trying new restaurants, staycations and even holidays abroad. When at the service our tenants enjoy movie and karaoke nights, celebrating special events from around the world. Anything from the festival of lights to pancake day, you name it, we celebrate it They also have a lovely outdoor space where they enjoy socialising and a good barbeque in the summer months.
