Senior Night Coach - Children's Residential Support Worker
A Senior Night Coach at SuperCare provides reassurance, safety, and comfort while the children sleep. Nights can be unpredictable; some children may rest peacefully, while others wake distressed, anxious, or in need of personal care. You'll be the steady presence who ensures that, even in the quiet hours, the children feel safe and understood.
The home is proud of its recent 'Good' rating from Ofsted and is working toward achieving Outstanding!
What You'll Do
You'll be responsible for overnight care and support, which includes:
* Helping children with toileting, bathing, continence, and nighttime medication routines.
* Providing comfort and calm when children wake unsettled.
* Responding safely and sensitively to behaviours such as smearing, spitting, or aggression.
* Maintaining routines and using visual supports where helpful.
* Recording key information and ensuring smooth handovers to the day team.
What We're Looking For
Nights require patience, resilience, and a gentle presence. We're looking for people who are calm under pressure, able to handle challenging behaviour without judgment, and who can provide care with dignity and warmth - even at 3am.
Senior Coaches require either a Level 3 in Residential Childcare or equivalent, in order to bring experience and leadership to the night shift.
The young people in this home are non-verbal and using PECS/Makaton. There are young people with epilepsy (training provided) so experience specifically with these conditions would be great. Although this is the night shift, the young people are incredibly active, so energetic, compassionate, and bubbly personalities are welcome to apply!
