Overview and obligations:

Children’s Night Support Worker, Cambridgeshire/Hertfordshire border, Meldreth, near Royston

Salary:£10.04 to £11.13 per hour (based on qualifications and competency), plus a night supplement of £25 for each night shift done and a $1000 welcome bonus.

Fourteen shifts (8:45 p.m. to 8:15 a.m.) in a four-week rotation, averaging 40 hours per week. 

We will also consider flexible shift schedules to suit you when possible.

Training: Complete training is offered, and after you pass probation, we’ll help you pay for your Level 3 Residential Childcare diploma.

In Meldreth, near Royston (on the border of South Cambridgeshire and North Hertfordshire), where our Aurora Meldreth Manor children’s home and the school provides education, care, and therapeutic support for children and young people with severe, profound, and multiple learning difficulties leading to complex learning needs, we are currently hiring several Night Support Workers.

What I Do:

Your job at night will be to give our children and young adults the best possible care, including helping them get ready for bed (including bathing and changing), encouraging a healthy sleep pattern when possible, and, of course, checking on everyone in your charge periodically throughout the night to deal with any problems that may arise.

• Providing exceptionally high levels of care for our children and young adults
• Assisting with getting them ready for bed which will include washing and changing
• Encourage a healthy sleeping pattern where possible
• Checking on the children and young adults at regular intervals throughout the night and dealing with any difficulties
• Ensuring that medical needs are met at all times
• Ensuring that the environment is safe, supportive, calm and happy

Please be aware that the role may call for participation in daily personal care and physical intervention routines.

Since this is a waking night job, you will also be expected to help with some little housekeeping tasks when it’s quiet (such as loading the dishwasher and keeping the environment tidy).

You will ensure that all of their medical needs are addressed, including the administration and documentation of prescription medication, after receiving thorough training and ongoing assistance.

Your capacity to develop trustworthy relationships, speak clearly, and offer the kind of support our children and young adults need to become more independent will be crucial in this position.

Skills and Qualifications 

It is a challenging but utterly gratifying position. Ultimately, we’re searching for people passionate about developing connections and making a difference in the lives of the young adults we work with. Therefore, while prior experience would be helpful, it is not required. We value your ability to show the proper mindset to make a difference.

Successful applicants will probably exhibit:

• willingness to work hard and learn new things.
•  the capacity to support, encourage and facilitate independence when appropriate.
•  Excellent communication and patience skills.
