Support Practitioner - Waking Nights (Longside)

Looking for a new part-time nightshift job with satisfaction that you'd struggle to find anywhere else? You're in luck as we're looking for new waking night *female colleagues to join our amazing #TeamParkvale in Longside on a part-time (10 or 20 hours per week) or relief basis!

Shift Patterns

This role will involve working one or two waking night shifts per week between the hours of 2130-0730 hours and will include weekends and public holidays on a rotational basis. Waking night shifts are paid at a normal hourly rate, plus an additional payment of £20 per night.

Although the majority of the time you will work a waking night shift, we will also need you to have an element of flexibility to attend training and build relationships with the individuals we support during the day, so occasional day shifts will form part of your rota.

The Role

Your role will be to provide support throughout the night to five wonderful individuals with physical and learning difficulties. Although working as part of our wider team, this role will mainly involve lone working.

Your main aim will be to ensure that the individuals we support have access to support and assistance during the night if needed. In addition to providing support, your responsibilities will include maintaining a high level of cleanliness, ironing, health & safety checks, managing finances and administrative support.

• Good communication and organisational skills
• A positive attitude with a willingness to learn
