SENSE SCOTLAND - JOIN A TEAM AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE EVERY DAY!

At Sense Scotland, we believe that night-time care is just as important as daytime support. Our Waking Night Support Team at Blantyre Short Breaks plays a vital role in ensuring that the people we support feel safe, comfortable, and valued throughout the night.

This 35 hour role is key in maintaining the safety and well-being of the people we support during the night.

Key responsibilities include:

Conducting regular "keeping safe" checks to ensure well-being. Supporting individuals with evening and morning routines. Maintaining a clean, safe, and welcoming environment. Accurately updating support plans, incident logs, and health & safety records. Providing personal care, meal preparation, and medication administration. Creating a therapeutic, reassuring atmosphere to enhance well-being.

We provide full training, induction, and work-shadowing to set you up for success.
