Waking Night Support Worker (Female) - Poole

Thursday, Friday & Saturday every week10pm - 7am (27 hours per week)

At Dimensions, you'll discover more than a job - you'll find purpose, belonging, and the support to thrive. Guided by our values, we create an inclusive, rewarding environment where your voice matters, your wellbeing is prioritised, and your growth is celebrated.

As a Waking Night Support Worker, you'll play a vital role in making every night safe, comfortable, and meaningful for the people we support. Together, we'll make a real difference - for them, and for you.

Dimensions is proud to be one of the few social care organisations accredited by the Great Places to Work programme in 2025 - now seven years in a row.

About the Role

You'll be supporting two lovely ladies in their 40s and 50s who live in their own individual flats within a purpose-built complex in Poole. Both have strong, positive relationships with their families, who visit regularly.

One of the ladies does not use words to communicate, but she understands what is said to her and will guide you to what she wants. Patience, warmth, and a person-centred approach are essential.

Every night, you'll help create a safe, calm, and reassuring environment, ensuring the ladies feel comfortable and supported throughout the night. Your responsibilities may include:

- Providing emotional reassurance and a consistent, calming presence

- Supporting with night-time routines and wellbeing

- Keeping accurate records and maintaining a peaceful environment

- Working collaboratively with day staff to ensure continuity of care
