Temporary Waking Night Support Worker

Love nights and a good laugh? Mike does too! He's looking for a fellow night owl to support him and share the fun along the way. This is a temporary position to cover maternity for up to 12 months. As a night team member, you'll be supporting Mike with his evening and overnight routine, offering positive encouragement and helping him make healthy choices. The role includes some basic cooking, light household tasks, and supporting with personal hygiene -always with a focus on encouraging Mike's involvement and independence. Mike has a great sense of humour and enjoys chatting and having a laugh with his team. His hobbies include gaming, music of all kinds, treasure hunting, gardening, metal detecting, and watching 80's cartoons and films. Mike especially values when his team shares his interests-because it helps him feel more connected and engaged. We're looking for someone who is collaborative, even when working alone, and eager to keep learning and developing. Mike is autistic with a learning disability and needs support in understanding the 'why' and the 'how', but the team are there to find creative and unique ways of helping his understanding such as creating a bespoke newspaper that has helped Mike develop, think more about his health, and try new things. Shifts run from 9pm to 9am, with rotas planned to support a healthy work-life balance. Reliability and responsibility are important, as the team is moving towards being self-directed, where everyone is encouraged to take ownership and show leadership when needed. At the heart of it, this role is about helping Mike have a fulfilling and meaningful life - and knowing that you've made a difference by being part of it.
