Description
Waking Night Support Worker - Children’s Home
Locations: Tadley (RG26) and across our West Berkshire homes (Bramley and Burghfield)
Salary: Starting from £27,000 per year (£13.66 per hour) based on 38 hours per week
Contract: Permanent, full-time
Hours: Nights, 4 on / 4 off (set nights considered)
About The Role
Nights can be the hardest part of a young person’s day. You might be the person who helps them settle after a nightmare, reassures them when they feel unsafe, or simply sits calmly while they work through a difficult moment.
As a Night Support Worker, you will safeguard and support children overnight in one of our residential homes. This is a lone working role, so you will need to be confident working independently, staying alert and maintaining a calm, nurturing environment through the night.
The difference you’ll make
Working nights is not just being awake. It is being present when a young person needs stability, reassurance and safety. The smallest moments can feel like big wins, a young person returning to sleep, a calm conversation at 2am, a safe home ready for the morning team.
