Here at SignHealth we are currently recruiting for Waking Night Support Workers in taking on the exciting challenge of providing high quality health and social care support to Deaf individuals, many of whom who have mental health conditions.
We are looking for an independent, dynamic, compassionate and hardworking individual who is able to support individuals who are living in our community to help them become as independent as possible.
As a Waking Night Support Worker you will be expected to ensure the safety of the people we support and to ensure people are supported to gain a good night’s sleep, monitoring any concerns in relation to disturbed sleep patterns and following relevant support plans designed to promote sleep and wellbeing.
You will need to remain awake whilst on shift and will need to deliver a high standard of care and support.
Sleeping on duty is not permitted at any time.
Our Waking Night Support Workers will undertake a range of tasks and they will work closely with our clients developing supportive relationships, supporting clients in independent skills, emotional support, developing personalised plans and ensuring a professional service is maintained.
You will liaise with statutory authorities to fully access new referrals and review, social workers and other professionals. The work you will carry out is interesting, challenging and rewarding.
Due to the nature of this position you will need to have a minimum of level 2 British Sign Language, understand the importance of sensitive data and storing data in line with GDPR regulations, care regulations and the CQC.
