Job description

At Achieve together, we strive to support and inspire the people we care for in order to give them the resources, skills and confidence to live their lives independently, and to the fullest.
With us, you'll embark on a career adventure like no other, with dedicated training opportunities along the way to develop your skills and forge a long-lasting career in social care.
Our team members are our most valuable asset. Without them, we simply wouldn't be who we are today. We're always on the hunt for hard-working, passionate people who want to make a difference and help others – so what are you waiting for?

Job Description

As a Waking Night Support Worker you'll provide attentive, awake overnight support to the people we support, ensuring their safety, comfort and wellbeing through the night. This is more than just a job – you'll help the people we support live healthy, happy and fulfilling lives.

Key Responsibilities

• Providing awake, attentive support throughout the night, monitoring wellbeing and responding to any needs that arise.
• Enhancing and enriching quality of life for the people we support, enabling them to keep moving towards agreed goals and life skills in line with their individual activity planner.
• Maintaining the general health, wellbeing and emotional needs of the people we support, including a high standard of personal care, attending health appointments and administering medication in line with company policies.
• Complying with all health and safety requirements, safeguarding policies and best practice, and reporting any concerns around safety and safeguarding immediately.
• Encouraging the people we support to access a range of opportunities and experiences, maximising their inclusion and participation in the community according to their needs, wishes and preferences.
• Supporting the people we support to stay connected with family and friends and to participate in social and community activities, including annual holidays.
• Maintaining accurate and detailed records in line with legislation and organisational policies, including care plans, risk assessments, daily reports and incident records.
• Working with an up-to-date knowledge of each individual's preferred method of communication.
• Working as part of a team, attending team meetings and contributing to a culture of open communication and constructive feedback.
• Supporting behaviours that challenge safely and supportively, using approved approaches learnt through training.

Requirements

Although it would be beneficial to have some experience of healthcare work, it isn't absolutely necessary as we provide full training. As long as you're passionate, hard-working and empathetic, you'll fit right in.

As a Support Worker, you'll ensure that the people we support are able to live their lives independently and engage in daily enrichment activities, while receiving focused, tailored support where needed.

This is not a role where you will be tied to a desk – you will enjoy the freedom to explore and access local communities and activities.

• Care Certificate to be completed within the first 6 months in post.
