Job description

As Senior Night Coach at this Ofsted rated "Good" SuperCare Home, you'll be the steady hand of experience during the home's most vulnerable hours. You won't lead shifts, but you'll be the one junior colleagues turn to when things get difficult - whether that's responding to a seizure, calming a distressed child, or handling an incident of aggression. Your role is about reassurance, expertise, and leading by example.

You'll combine direct support with being a trusted point of guidance for colleagues:

• Support children with autism, epilepsy, diabetes, and complex mental health needs.
• Model calm, safe, and consistent responses during incidents.
• Guide less experienced staff through difficult situations.
• Provide personal care as needed.
• Contribute to accurate records and effective handovers.

What We're Looking For

We need experienced staff who bring confidence and calm to the night shift:

• Solid background supporting young people with autism and behaviours that challenge.
• Skilled in Team Teach and de-escalation strategies.
• Comfortable supporting colleagues as well as children.
• Physically fit, alert, and dependable.
• Resilient and professional under pressure.

Benefits Working at SuperCare

We'll back your skills with development and recognition:

• Salary 20% above sector average.
• 36 days of specialist training per year.
• Fully funded Level 3 Diploma (if not already held).
• Private healthcare and 24/7 GP access.
• Gym stipend and wellbeing support.
• Pension and bonus scheme.
• Free parking and communal cars.
• Progression to Team Leader.
