THE JOB

The Waking Night Teams are responsible for providing support and safeguarding our clients, including dealing with emergencies. There will be 1 – 2 Waking Night Workers based at each residential project and as a Roaming Night Worker you will be required to support this work by assisting when our colleagues are in need of support or covering when they are absent. You will also have responsibility for maintaining a full and accurate log of events and reporting on incidents and any maintenance issues. The work will be varied and the responsive Roaming Night Workers will be a vital link between the 24-hour residential projects at night.

There will be occasions where you will be required to lone work on site, especially when emergency cover is required at a service at short notice. As such you will have the adaptability and confidence to move between residential services to meet the needs of the organisation.

The role will require you to work 3-4 night shifts per week starting at 10pm and finishing at 8.30am, as part of a 24/7 service, including some weekends. You will have good communication skills and an awareness of the issues that affect homeless individuals. You will be passionate about working for a charity that is striving for communities without homelessness.
