Female Support Worker - Wake Nights in Louth

Female Waking Night Support Worker — Full time, 37.5 hours per week. Shift time is 9pm–8am. Location: Louth, Lincolnshire, LN11.

You will be providing overnight support to four women aged 50+. During waking nights, you will be lone working, responding to each person’s nighttime routines, health needs and comfort.

Your role will include:

• Full personal care for three women
• Monitoring wellbeing and offering reassurance during unsettled periods
• Using safe moving and handling equipment such as wheelchairs, hoists and an albac mat when required
• Supporting nutrition, hydration and maintaining a calm environment through the night

These women enjoy an active daytime life, so your night support helps ensure they are rested, secure and ready for a meaningful and positive day ahead. One lady is very independent and may come and go within her routine, requiring gentle oversight and clear communication.

You don’t need previous experience; your values are what matter most. If you are compassionate, calm under pressure and committed to treating people with dignity and respect, we’ll provide all the training you need. You’ll be someone who can work confidently on your own at night, follow detailed care plans, and remain observant and responsive to people’s needs.
