Job description

Night times at this Ofsted "Good" SuperCare home are about creating safety and calm in the quieter hours - but they can also bring unpredictability.

• Support children with autism, epilepsy, diabetes, and mental health needs through the night.

• Provide personal care sensitively when needed.
• Maintain routines and safety checks across the home.
• Record night events and hand over clearly to the day team.

What We're Looking For:

We're searching for people who bring steadiness, professionalism, and reliability to the night shift:

• Experience working with autism and behaviours that challenge.
• Willingness to train in epilepsy and diabetes care.
• Calm and professional when faced with aggression or difficult language.
• Physically fit and alert during long shifts.
• Resilient, reliable, and team-focused.

Benefits Working at SuperCare:

We'll make sure your commitment is met with sector‑leading support:

• Salary 20% above average.
• 36 days of specialist training each year.
• Fully funded Level 3 Diploma.
• Private healthcare and on‑demand GP.
• Gym stipend and wellbeing package.
