Description

We currently have one 35-hour Night Support Worker position available at our Dyce Respite Service.

Due to service requirements only female applicants will be considered for this role.

Unfortunately, we are unable to provide sponsorship to work in the UK.

Our respite services offer short breaks for children and adults with learning disabilities in a safe, supportive environment, while also giving families a well-earned break.

In this role, you’ll help create a safe and comfortable environment throughout the night - assisting with personal care, administering medication, and supporting service users as required. You’ll also carry out key household tasks and ensure the wellbeing of the service user is always prioritised.

If you’re compassionate, reliable, and can work independently during night shifts, we’d love to hear from you. A relevant SVQ 2 (or willingness to achieve this) is essential, as is a genuine commitment to high-quality care.

Please note: The salary displayed above is a Full-Time Equivalent based on a 39 hour week.
