We're looking for a calm, caring, and reliable Night Time Care Officer to join a secondary specialist provision in the Chelmsford area. This is a permanent, full-time position with working hours from 8:00pm to 7:30am, providing consistent, overnight support to vulnerable students with complex SEMH and additional needs.
This role suits someone with a nurturing approach and strong professional boundaries. You'll be overseeing a small group of young people in residential care, ensuring they feel safe, supported, and emotionally settled overnight. Whether offering a listening ear, responding to safeguarding concerns, or supporting night-time routines, your presence will be central to their well-being.
The team you'll join is experienced and tight-knit, and the setting is purpose-built for young people who thrive in structure, routine, and therapeutic care. This is not just supervision - it's meaningful, human connection that helps young people build stability.
You will be well-compensated under the NJC Grade 5 (Fringe) pay scale, with excellent benefits and the satisfaction of making a direct impact every shift.
Professional development is supported at every stage - this is a fantastic stepping stone for those looking to grow into care leadership, safeguarding, or mental health-focused education roles.
Key Responsibilities
• Provide consistent overnight support and supervision to young people
• Ensure the safety, comfort, and emotional wellbeing of students
• Respond to incidents, concerns, or alerts in line with safeguarding protocols
• Support students with bedtime and morning routines as required
• Complete logs and reporting accurately and promptly
• Work collaboratively with care and education teams
• Help create a calm, secure overnight environment
• Experience in a care, education, or youth support setting
• Understanding of safeguarding and emotional regulation needs
• Ability to remain calm and attentive during night shifts
• Compassionate and consistent with clear communication skills
• NVQ Level 2/3 in Health & Social Care (or similar) preferred
• Experience with SEMH, Autism, or looked-after children is a bonus
• Able to commit to full-time, overnight working hours
SENDirect is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people.
