The Role

As a Support Worker, you will play a vital role in creating a nurturing, safe and supportive overnight environment for young people, ensuring their comfort, dignity and wellbeing.

Your presence provides both reassurance and practical care, making each night a continuation of the warmth and encouragement they experience during the day.

Additionally, you will:

- Prepare meals and help with manual handling
- Assist with cleaning, laundry, and maintaining a tidy, welcoming environment
- Help the day team with admin tasks, signage, PECs, and review preparation

Please note, due to our open and collaborative working environment and the nature of our work with children and adults with disabilities, all our office-based roles can experience periods of elevated noise levels and some elements of disruption.
