Summary
SENSE SCOTLAND - Waken Nights Support Practitioner (35 hours per week)
Sense Scotland is looking for two Waking Night Support Workers for our Housing Support Service in Dundee.
We require three waking night staff members on shift each night to ensure safe delivery of support. Two waking night shifts are within a person supported home and one night shift is based in the office for additional support should it be required. We believe that night-time care is just as important as daytime support. Our Waking Night Support Team plays a vital role in ensuring that the people we support feel safe, comfortable, and valued throughout the night.
As a waking night support worker, you’ll be an important part of a dedicated team, working to create a calm and reassuring environment where individuals with complex needs and learning disabilities can rest peacefully and wake up feeling secure, refreshed, and well cared for. This 35 hour role is key in maintaining the safety and well-being of the people we support during the night and when people supported wake in the morning before day shift staff arrive.
Key responsibilities include:
>Complete regular "keeping safe" checks to ensure well-being.
>Supporting individuals with evening and morning routines, and medication administration.
>Maintaining a clean, safe, and welcoming environment.
>Accurately updating support plans, incident logs, and health & safety records.
Shift details:
>Shifts are 9.30pm to 07.30am or 10pm-8am depending on the person you will be supporting.
>A shift pattern of four nights one week and three nights the next week.
