Female Support Worker Waking Nights | West Malling 

Part time 18 hours per week 10pm – 7am

Make a Difference While the World Sleeps

At Avenues, people smile, laugh, grow and achieve together. We believe that when our teams feel valued, supported and empowered, they help the people we support live happy, fulfilling and independent lives.

We're looking for a compassionate and reliable Female Waking Night Support Worker to join our team in West Malling, supporting seven adults with learning disabilities, autism and behaviours of concern.

Working waking nights is about much more than being present. You'll play a vital role in providing reassurance, promoting wellbeing and ensuring the people we support remain safe, comfortable and supported throughout the night. Every shift helps give the people we support – and their families – peace of mind.

What You'll Be Doing

During your waking night shifts, you'll:

• Provide overnight support, ensuring the safety and wellbeing of the people we support
• Carry out regular wellbeing checks and respond to any support needs during the night
• Deliver respectful, person-centred personal care where required
• Support with evening and morning routines, helping people prepare for bed and start their day
• Complete accurate records and handovers to the daytime team
• Help maintain a safe, clean and welcoming home environment
• Promote dignity, independence and choice at all times

No two nights are ever the same, and you'll be an important part of helping people feel safe and supported around the clock.

We invest in our people and offer a fantastic range of benefits, including:

• Early Pay – access part of your earned wages before payday
• Fully paid Enhanced DBS
