Job Description

About the role:

We are looking for a Waking Night Support Worker to join our team in Maidstone, supporting two females who live independently in their own home.

Due to the personal care needs of the person we support, this position is only open to female applicants in accordance with Schedule 9, Part 1 of the Equality Act 2010.

This role is essential in ensuring the safety and wellbeing of the person we support throughout the night. You will be responsible for monitoring their needs, offering reassurance, and providing care and support as required. Maintaining a calm and supportive presence, you will help create a peaceful environment where individuals feel secure and respected.

We will train you to provide personalised support and follow individual support plans to meet the needs and aspirations of the person you are supporting. You will be promoting independence and allowing the person to exert choice and control over the way their support is delivered.

Hours:

Part time hours available.

Location:

Maidstone, Kent. Free off street parking available at the property.

About you:

The ideal candidate will be caring, attentive, and able to stay alert and responsive throughout the shift. While previous experience in a care or support role is an advantage, it is not essential as full training will be provided. More important is a genuine passion for supporting others, good communication skills, and a strong sense of responsibility.

This is a rewarding opportunity to make a real difference in someone's life by ensuring they feel safe and cared for during the night.
