About the Role
We are looking for a dedicated and compassionate Waking Night Support Worker to join a small, specialist care team supporting a 27-year-old woman in her own home in Constantine, just outside Falmouth.
The lady we support is autistic and experiences generalised anxiety. She is currently in hospital following a prolonged period of declining food, fluids and medication, and is expected to return home shortly.
This is an important opportunity to provide consistent, person-centred support and help her feel safe, settled and comfortable as she transitions back home.
The Role
As a Waking Night Support Worker, you will provide support throughout the night, ensuring the individual’s safety and wellbeing while promoting dignity, independence and choice.
You will work as part of a supportive team and will be expected to build a trusting relationship with the person you support, following agreed care and support plans and responding appropriately to her individual needs.
About You
We are looking for someone who is:
- Compassionate, patient and genuinely caring
- Calm and reassuring, particularly when supporting someone experiencing anxiety
- Reliable and able to work independently during waking night shifts
- Confident following care and support plans
- Committed to providing person-centred support
- A good communicator with a professional and respectful approach
- A driver with access to a vehicle is essential
Previous experience supporting autistic adults or individuals with complex support needs would be advantageous, although the right attitude, values and willingness to learn are equally important.
What We Offer
- £16.00 per hour
- 36 hours per week – waking nights
- Temp-to-perm opportunity
- First 12 weeks employed through Cornwall Staff Agency
- Following successful completion of the temporary period, the opportunity to transfer to a permanent contract directly with the service
- The opportunity to make a genuine difference to someone's quality of life
- Supportive working environment and ongoing guidance
If you are a caring, dependable person looking for a rewarding role where your work can make a real difference, we would love to hear from you.
