Join to apply for the Night Support Worker - Children's Homes role at Witherslack Group
£32,849 - £35,896 assuming good attendance. Hours: Waking nights (4 on / 4 off)
Working in our Children’s Homes means being a part of a young person’s day to day life. This means being there for the highest highs and lowest lows. Our night support workers are a part of enabling our young people to get their childhood back and create pathways to become well rounded adults – an incredibly rewarding role to have.
Our homes accommodate young people with social, emotional and mental health needs, and our aim is to create the best possible outcome for the young people in our care. Our night support workers are fulfilled by the idea of affecting even the smallest positive changes in our young people, so we celebrate the little things.
Get Out What You Put In
You’ll take care of the home and our young people through the night. There will be times when a young person wakes up in the middle of the night dealing with severe trauma, feeling ill, upset or just unable to sleep - having someone there that understands them and provide support in that moment can make a huge difference.
