We're recruiting!


Join us as a Waking Night Learning Disability

Support Worker

and help build a future where learning disabled people live the best life possible.


We know that life can be complicated for everybody. But some of us are stopped from working towards our dreams. Many learning disabled people won't be heard about the support they'd like. Some won't get to decide what they do for work. Or how to spend or save their money. Many won't get to try out the new hobbies they'd love to try.


But you can change all that.


Join our growing Waking Night team in Edenbridge, and get all the training you need to become a confident Support Worker.


Do you feel like our values - Kind, Diverse, Positive and Visionary - are a good match to your values? Then we've got lots in common already. Come on board and support learning disabled adults with those very values to develop skills, achieve their life goals and thrive in your community


Waking night support workers are required to remain awake throughout the night to support individuals as required. As a Waking Nights Support Worker, you will support individuals throughout the night to ensure they are comfortable and safe.
