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.

• Salary 20% above average.
• 36 days of specialist training each year.
• Fully funded Level 3 Diploma.
