Are you looking to make a real difference? Join a warm, committed care team supporting a lovely young woman with complex health and learning needs in her family home, No experience needed as full training will be given. Please note: Due to the personal care requirements and the wishes of the dependent and her family, this role is open to female applicants only.

We're looking for a dedicated and compassionate Sleep in Night Worker to provide 2:1 care for a client with an acquired brain injury and epilepsy. You'll be part of an experienced team delivering high-quality, person-centred support throughout the night. This is a permanent, part-time role, working 2 x 12-hour sleep in night shifts on Monday and Tuesday nights (9PM–9AM). You’ll be alongside another support worker (who will be completing a waking night shift), awake for approximately 4 hours during the early and late parts of the night to provide essential care and support, while sleeping for the remaining 8 hours. Due to needing 2:1 care, if the night shift support worker requires assistance, you will be required to support throughout the night. Additional night hours may become available in the future, and there is also the opportunity to cover day shifts to support the wider team during annual leave or sickness absences, offering flexibility and extra hours for the right candidate.

Please note: Sleep-in shifts allow for rest periods; however, if the dependent requires support more than three times during the night, the shift would be reclassified as a waking night, requiring continuous awake care. Also, if a waking night carer is on annual leave or sick leave, the sleep-in carer must cover as the waking night carer, providing vital continuity of care in a supportive team environment.

You’ll be part of a supportive, friendly team committed to delivering excellent care. This role involves physical tasks including manual handling and night work, so physical fitness and emotional resilience are important. Due to the rural location, you must have a valid driving licence and access to a vehicle.

Working within a family home requires an awareness that your workplace is part of a private family environment. You are expected to demonstrate respect, discretion, and empathy at all times. You will also be working with family.
