Waking Night Carer
Location: Liphook, Hampshire
Hours: Overnight shifts: 7.00pm - 7.00am
Salary: £150 - £170 per night
Job Summary
Are you looking for night shifts and have a natural empathy for supporting children with complex needs? We are looking for enthusiastic individuals to join our experienced team near Liphook, Hampshire. Whether you are an experienced children's care worker or a new entrant to the sector, you'll receive excellent guidance and support to take on this rewarding work.
Key Responsibilities
You will support the children with evening activities such as reading, arts and crafts, or watching TV, before helping them get ready for bed. You will then keep watch overnight to ensure their needs are met and they remain safe and settled. Some children may struggle to sleep, and part of your role will be to reassure them and prepare them for the following morning. During quieter periods overnight, you will also complete a range of tasks, including administering medication and carrying out domestic duties to help keep the house organised.
In summary you'll have opportunities to play, read, dance, paint and more - your inner child is sure to emerge - while making a meaningful difference to a vulnerable child's life and giving their family essential time to rest and recharge.
