Waking Night Support Worker

We are currently looking to fill gaps in our planned new rotas which will include late shifts to meet the needs of those we support. Shifts will also include weekend work and some public holiday working where normal shifts fall on a public holiday. We also have Casual Work opportunities.

For specific hours and shift pattern for this waking night support worker vacancy please see summary below.

The Trust uses rigorous but friendly selection techniques to really understand whether candidates possess the values and attributes to work alongside our experienced team. Of course, experience comes from training and we are equally proud of the excellent learning curriculum we offer for new joiners and experienced workers alike.

The care we provide calls for a broad range of skills and diversity amongst our workforce to support people with challenging and complex needs. Compassion is at the heart of our business as is empathy, dignity and respect. We ensure any personal care needed is given in a kind and safe manner. However, when it comes to opportunity we truly offer the people we support with the chance to enrich their lives through community and new experiences.

Staff have to be fit enough to participate in some activities such as housekeeping duties and some of our accredited mandatory training is physical as it covers management of aggression and self-injurious behaviours.

SO IF WHAT THE KENT AUTISTIC TRUST IS ABOUT RESONATES WITH YOU, THEN WE WOULD LOVE TO MEET YOU!
