Waking Night Support Worker

Waking Night Support Worker – Autism & Learning Disabilities ¦ Widnes
At Bright Futures, we champion the potential of every person with autism and a learning disability, believing wholeheartedly in their ability to thrive and lead the most fulfilling lives.
Our Regency home is a fully detached three-bed home located just 10 minutes from the town centre, surrounded by parks, green spaces and scenic walking routes. The individuals we support are active, outdoors-focused individuals who enjoy swimming, walking, hiking, including trips to Wales, shopping and getting involved in their community. Some also have additional health needs, including epilepsy, so our teams play an important role in providing consistent, bespoke support, promoting independence, and helping individuals stay engaged in the activities they love.
As a Waking Night Support Worker, you will help people feel safe settled and well supported throughout the night. You will lead by example, maintaining the highest standards of support and care offering calm guidance to colleagues and helping to maintain a caring positive environment.

Your role will include checking on people supported at the home throughout the night, accurately recording anything important and responding to any changes or concerns. You will also develop strong relationships with the team and the people we support to ensure a calm, positive and reassuring environment.

What we're looking for:

Previous experience in a care or support role is desirable (waking night experience beneficial but not essential).
A care-related qualification (e.g. Level 2/3 Health & Social Care or equivalent) is desirable.
Warm, person-centred approach with a strong focus on safeguarding, wellbeing and maintaining professional boundaries.
Calm, resilient and proactive with the ability to work independently overnight and respond appropriately in unexpected situations.
Strong communication and teamwork skills, ensuring accurate recording, confident lone working, and effective handover with the day care team.
Hourly pay that recognises your development
We recognise experience, qualifications and the additional responsibilities you take on. That's why we offer a clear hourly pay structure, with opportunities to progress as your career develops.
£14.20 - £14.55 per hour – Waking Night (Unqualified)
