Are you looking for a rewarding role where you can work to help people feel empowered to live as independently as possible, even
when they are at the most vulnerable?
Aspens could be the perfect workplace for you!
At Aspens we work across Kent and Sussex; supporting individuals with autism spectrum conditions, learning disabilities and
physical disabilities across residential care homes, supported living homes, day services and our fantastic outreach programme.
If you are a night owl who is most productive whilst other sleep then why not join our team as a Waking Night Support Worker? You
will be able to enjoy the quiet hours whilst completing tasks such as cleaning, ironing and monitoring the people you support.
You'll also be responsible for carrying out the person-centred support plans (including personal care) and following risk
assessments, administering medication and completing nightly reports to ensure those we care for are safeguarded while living
their best life.
About You:
We are looking for friendly, hard-working people with a fun spirit and a good sense of humour to join our team of support staff.
As a Waking Night Support Worker, you will either need to be experienced in supporting or caring for someone in a professional
setting or have skills learned from other professional roles that can transfer to this setting.
This means if you have supported people with learning disabilities, autism, dementia or mental health in the past or if you have
dealt with challenging professional situations with members of the public then you'll have the skills to be able to effectively
make a difference to the people living in our care services!
What Aspens can offer you:
* Full Care Certificate Training and specialist training such as Emergency First Aid
* Career progression including recognised qualifications within Health & Social Care
* A flexible working pattern (such as 4 nights on, 4 nights off)
* Additional Bank shifts
* 30 days annual leave (including bank holidays)
* Nest pension
* Shuttle service to/from local stations
* Dedicated Employee Assistance Programme
* Access to Mental Health First Aiders
* Access to Blue Light Card, providing thousands of discounts on the high street and online
* 25% Staff Discount in our Charity Shops and Cafe
* Death in Service benefit
* Care Friends – earn up to £250 for referring a friend to work for Aspens
How to Apply:
If you are friendly, dedicated and passionate about supporting others we would LOVE to speak to you about our available roles.

We are currently holding recruitment days every Wednesday, but we can be flexible to suit your own availability.

Any offer would be subject to Disclosure and Barring checks, which we will complete on your behalf if you don't already have one,
and satisfactory employment references. We will consider job share and part time arrangements for all posts in line with the needs
of the charity.
Aspens Charities are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive working environment, we are proud to be an equal opportunity
employer.
