About the role:

This is not your ordinary waking night position. We are seeking a dedicated, highly observant professional for a specialised waking night role to support our client living in London.

To ensure the ultimate safety of our client with epilepsy and learning disabilities, your primary role will be to sit directly outside their bedroom, monitoring visual screens throughout the night. While the physical activity level of this role is low, the mental vigilance required is high and your presence is crucial for immediate response to any needs or emergencies.

If you are someone who thrives in a quiet, highly structured environment, possesses an exceptional attention to detail, and takes pride in being the ultimate safety net, this role is perfect for you.

You won’t be doing this alone, you will join an incredibly supportive, established team with a hands-on care manager and house manager, ensuring you have everything you need to succeed.

Your key responsibilities:

• Remain awake and alert, stationed outside the client’s room, monitoring visual screens to ensure immediate detection of any seizure activity.

• Act calmly, swiftly and effectively according to established protocols during overnight incidents or epileptic seizures

• Safely manage and administer required night-time medications

• Provide 2 hours of essential break-cover support to the daytime care team, maintaining seamless continuity of care

• Keep precise overnight records and deliver comprehensive handovers to the morning staff and care manager

Due to the specialised nature of this role, we can only consider applicants with proven professional experience in:

• Epilepsy & seizure management: Confident, hands-on experience tracking, monitoring, and responding to epileptic seizures

• Learning disabilities & autism knowledge: A deep understanding of supporting individuals with diverse learning disabilities and complex communication needs

• Proven night-shift reliability: Experience maintaining high alertness during quiet, solo waking night shifts

• Valid right to work in the UK

What we offer you

• A fixed, reliable 3-weeks-on / 3-weeks-off rota, allowing you to plan your personal life and travel well in advance

• Rewarding bonuses: get a £5 daily client happiness bonus and up to £400 for every friend you refer!

• We’re invested in your growth: paid induction, care certificate, and ongoing support for level 2 & 3 diplomas in health and social care

• Dedicated support: your own care manager and a friendly office team always ready to help

• Prioritising your well-being: an Employee Assistance Programme with wellbeing support

• Award-winning culture: join a team rated 5 stars for culture and management (Indeed) and recognised for live-in care expertise (Home Care Awards)

• Benefits package including paid holidays, NEST pension scheme, client referral scheme, Blue Light Card
