Linden is recruiting for Waking Night Support Workers. We are looking for enthusiastic, caring and passionate people to become an integral part of our support team.

Linden House provides care and support to children and young people with a primary diagnosis of moderate to severe autism with moderate challenging behaviour and associated conditions such as ADHD and Tourette’s Syndrome. Here, daily living experiences and activities are meaningful and memorable and are designed to meet the needs of individual children in areas that are personal to them.

As part of Aspris Children’s Services, we are immensely proud of the career pathway and training we can offer you. We ask that you can demonstrate the values needed for a role, transferable skills and life experience and in return we will give you all the training and support you need to progress to becoming a qualified Waking Night Support Worker and further.

Experience isn’t always essential but there are a few characteristics you will need to be successful in this role:

• Resilience – We support some of the most vulnerable children in society who have varying degrees of emotional behavioural difficulties, autism, ADHD and associated difficulties so there will be times where your resilience is challenged.
• Communication – Communicating with our young people is vital to understand their needs. Good teamwork and communication plays a key part in ensuring important information is relayed to other staff.
• Organisation – You’ll need to be confident and organised in updating care plans and reporting information that will be relevant to the care of our young people.
• Caring – Our young people require the best care we can offer. If you are a naturally caring and compassionate person, this is the role for you.
• Attentive – No young person / situation is the same so being attentive to understand them and identify areas where we can support is important and alert within any situation.

Above all, we provide a supportive and collaborative working environment where you can flourish in your career and feel incredibly rewarded by helping those who need it most.

If you want residential childcare to be a job for life, Aspris Children’s Services will help you get there.
