We are recruiting Waking Night Children’s Care Workers to join our teams within the Flintshire area. Your empathy and warmth will enable you to support vulnerable children with Autism, Learning Disabilities and complex needs. This means that the Children we care for may need support to develop their day-to-day skills, including communication and practical skills. They may also need support to complete their personal care. That’s why we’re looking for calm, conscientious and kind people who can take care of the daily needs of the children– vital help that can transform their lives!

Nightly tasks involve running night time routines and providing the care and support that the children need to be happy and healthy, but you will also need to complete relevant paperwork, undertake household tasks, personal care and where appropriate administer medication.

You’ll play a key role in the smooth-running of the site and you’ll have a good grasp of safeguarding and safety and hygiene. This is a role in which attention to detail really counts – and one that touches the real lives of people every day.
