About The Role

We support residents who live with us for up to nine months after being discharged from acute wards to avoid admission into inpatient rehabilitation.

In this role you will ensure resident safety, wellbeing, and progress towards their recovery goals. You will support in creating an environment where they feel safe, empowered, and build relationships with key partners. You will create support plans, plan and hold activities, and further support them to achieve greater independence. The night shift plays a crucial role in continuing the high‑quality care provided during the day, ensuring a safe, respectful, and responsive environment for residents. Night staff are expected to remain awake, alert, and actively engaged throughout their shift. Sleeping while on duty is strictly prohibited and may lead to disciplinary action, including dismissal for gross misconduct.

* Health & Safety: carry out property checks, report maintenance issues, keep communal areas clean and safe, and complete required reports (AINMs and others).
About You

You will be proactive and continue supporting our residents even during quieter hours, ensuring that the service runs smoothly and that you are actively engaged with the wider team and residents, supporting them to achieve the service KPI’s.
