A Role That Truly Matters

This is more than a nightshift role. You'll be helping a young person with complex needs to live the life they choose, providing reassurance, support and companionship while ensuring their safety and wellbeing throughout the night.

• Has a good sense of humour and enjoys being part of a team
• Remains calm and confident in different situations
• Is committed to delivering high-quality person-centred support
• Is willing to undertake training and become registered with the SSSC

Experience in care is welcomed but not essential. Full training will be provided.

Knowledge or experience of epilepsy or Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome would be advantageous but is not required.

Overseas Applicants (Please note)

At present, we are unable to accept applications from anyone who requires Sponsorship

More Than a Job. A Career With Purpose.

Working in care isn't always easy, but it is one of the most rewarding careers you can choose.

Every shift gives you the opportunity to make a genuine difference, helping people stay independent, connected to their community and living in the place they call home.

If you're looking for a career where you'll be valued, supported and able to make a real impact every day, we'd love to hear from you.
