At Dimensions, you’ll discover more than a job – you’ll find purpose, belonging, and the support to thrive. Guided by our values, we create an inclusive, rewarding environment where your voice matters, your wellbeing is prioritised, and your growth is celebrated. As a Waking Night Support Worker, you’ll play a vital role in making every night safe, comfortable, and meaningful for the people we support.

Thanks to our amazing teams, Dimensions Group has been accredited as a Great Place to Work for 2025 — our seventh consecutive year of recognition.

We are looking for compassionate, motivated Waking Night Support Workers to support a wonderful young lady in her 30s who lives independently in her own home. She has a learning disability and autism and thrives with an outgoing, energetic team around her.

We are looking for people who can bring enthusiasm, patience, and a reassuring presence, particularly when she experiences behaviours of distress. Full Positive Behaviour Support training is provided, but previous experience is essential.

Every night, you’ll help create a safe, calm, and comforting environment for the people we support.

• Carrying out regular “keeping safe checks” to ensure everyone feels secure and comfortable.
• Maintaining a clean, hygienic space so that the environment is welcoming and safe.
• Recording important information using our easy-to-use IT systems – from support plans to health and safety logs – so we can provide the best care possible.
• Creating a therapeutic, reassuring atmosphere that promotes wellbeing throughout the night.
• Supporting people to enjoy their late evenings or nights in ways that matter to them.
• Providing personal care when needed, always with dignity and respect.

• You will be supporting them to live their lives how they choose and to achieve their goals.
• With the lady’s autism, activities have to have a clear middle objective and an end one.
• You’ll be supporting by engaging in intensive interaction such as mirroring their actions and body language (Full Training Provided).
• As well as supporting them to get involved in all the activities they enjoy, you’ll also be providing support with their personal care, medication, food shopping, and domestic tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and laundry.

• A competitive pay rate with uplift for overtime you choose to work.
