Night Support Worker

As a Night Support Worker at the Woodford Park Project you will work with a team of highly skilled people providing 24-hour support to adults with learning disabilities who require additional support due to a range of complex needs including behaviours that may cause concern. You will therefore have a sound knowledge and understanding of the various functions of behaviour and have an ability to work in an environment that can be challenging and fast paced.

As such, our roles at Woodford Park are incredibly rewarding. You will have a hugely positive impact on some of the most vulnerable people in our society.

We're looking for hard-working team players who are committed to high standards of care.

Full training is provided, but we need people who have a minimum of two years experience of a suitable qualification that will evidence their understanding of the needs of the people who we support. We value interpersonal skills learned from other jobs such as hospitality and retail.

Shifts are typically 8:00am to 3:00pm; 3:00pm to 10:00pm; and 10:00pm to 8:00am for night duty.
