What it's like to support me

I enjoy spending quality time with my nightshift worker, relaxing and discussing how our day has been — this is my one-to-one time.

I like to relax with a cup of tea and music before being assisted to bed. I will let you know when I want to go to bed.

Staff will assist me with checks overnight to ensure I’m comfortable and okay, which I find reassuring.

In the morning, I like to be helped up, ready for the day, with my breakfast and a chat about my plans for the day.

What’s in it for you?

• Access to our benefits scheme - Mungo Money, offering supermarket discounts, fuel savings, restaurant discounts, savings on holidays, reduced gym membership costs, and a cycle to work scheme.
• 33 days’ annual leave (based on 38 hours per week).
• Extensive training and development opportunities.
• If unqualified, support to work towards a suitable qualification in line with SSSC requirements.

Joining us means becoming part of a community dedicated to making a positive impact in people's lives.
