Are you someone who finds purpose in supporting others, especially when the world is quiet? Mencap are looking for dedicated and compassionate Waking Night Support Workers to join our team, providing vital care to individuals.
In this role, you'll be responsible for ensuring that the people we support feel safe, comfortable, and respected. You'll assist with evening routines, respond to any overnight needs, and help maintain a calm and reassuring environment. Your presence will bring peace of mind, whether it's offering personal care, completing safety checks, or simply being there with a listening ear.

Working at Mencap means being part of something bigger. You'll be joining a passionate team and a well-respected charity that believes in equality, inclusion, and supporting people to live the lives they choose. In return, we offer a meaningful career with full training, ongoing development, and a supportive environment where your work is genuinely valued.
Apply today and be part of a team that puts people first—every hour of the day and night.
We have part time and full time positions available and shifts will run from 10pm-7am varying across 7 days a week.
