Job description

We are looking for a female Waking Night Support Worker to join our team in Sutton, Norwich, supporting one woman to live the life she chooses. This is a values led role focused on ensuring she feels safe, comfortable, and supported throughout the night while promoting her independence and wellbeing.

During waking night shifts you’ll be responsible for maintaining a safe and supportive environment within the home. You’ll provide reassurance when needed, monitor wellbeing, complete routine checks, support with any personal care, and encourage the person we support to return to bed and maintain healthy sleep routines if they wake during the night.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Providing attentive overnight support and ensuring the person's safety and wellbeing.
• Supporting with personal care where required, always promoting dignity and respect.
• Administering medication in line with support plans and training.
• Completing household tasks to ensure the home is clean, safe and prepared for the day ahead.
• Accurately recording support provided using digital systems.
• Responding calmly and confidently to any situations that arise during the night.
• Working closely with family members, colleagues and professionals to ensure consistent, high-quality support.

Shifts - This is a full-time position, working a rota of 3 waking nights one week and 4 waking nights the next. When you join us, you won’t move straight onto waking nights. You’ll initially spend time working alongside the day team, completing your induction, mandatory training and getting to know the gentlemen, their routines, preferences and support needs. This provides a strong foundation and helps ensure you feel confident and well-prepared before transitioning to night support. An enhanced DBS disclosure will be required for this role, the cost of which will be incurred by Dimensions.

• Have excellent observation and communication skills.
• Be comfortable providing personal care and supporting with night-time routines.
• Be reliable, flexible and committed to delivering person-centred support.
• Be confident using basic digital systems to complete records and notes.
• Hold a full UK driving licence and have access to your own vehicle.

Experience is not essential as full training will be provided. What matters most is your commitment to supporting people to live safe, happy and fulfilling lives.
