Make a real difference while others sleep. At Dimensions, every night is an opportunity to create safety, comfort and reassurance for the people we support. As a Female Waking Nights Support Worker in Stanwell, you’ll play an essential role in supporting people to feel secure, respected and well-cared-for throughout the night.

Who you’ll be supporting:

You’ll be joining a friendly home supporting five people. They are outgoing, fun, and enjoy a range of interests—from theatre trips and wrestling on TV to karaoke nights, shopping outings, and meals at their favourite places. While this is a waking-night role, you’ll be supporting their comfort, safety and wellbeing so they can enjoy those daytime experiences.

What your waking-night role includes:

• Regular night checks to ensure wellbeing
• Repositioning for comfort and pressure care
• Assistance with personal care when needed
• Using hoists and moving & handling equipment
• Supporting people with varied communication needs
• Completing documentation and accurate night records
• Light household tasks to maintain a comfortable environment

You’ll always have support from your team and manager, and full training is provided—including for behaviours of distress, moving & handling, and communication.
