Why Join Us?

Chailey Heritage Foundation is more than a workplace – we’re a thriving community of support for children, young people and families living with complex disabilities. As a Night Support Worker, you’ll be part of a warm, skilled team making sure each child and young person gets the comfort, rest and reassurance they need. You’ll build trusting relationships, follow care plans with confidence, and help every young person feel safe, seen, and valued, even while the world sleeps.

You’ll find:

  • A true sense of purpose and belonging.
  • A supportive team that values empathy and compassion.
  • Extensive training and career progression opportunities, including a fully funded Level 3 Diploma in Health and Social Care.

What You’ll Do: 

  • Supporting children and young people during overnight routines - settling, repositioning, hygiene, and early morning transitions
  • Delivering safe, person-centred care with dignity and respect
  • Using specialist equipment like hoists, beds and mobility aids (full training provided)
  • Helping with medication, feeding (including gastrostomy), and personal care
  • Monitoring wellbeing throughout the night and recording notes
  • Being a reliable, compassionate part of a committed team

What We’re Looking For: 

  • A caring, compassionate approach with the ability to stay calm and focused overnight
  • Respect for individuality and a positive approach to disability and diversity
  • Strong communication and teamwork skills
  • Confidence in working with children and young people - or a willingness to learn
  • Willingness to undertake training, including Health & Social Care Level 3
  • Availability to work a rota including weekends and public holidays

Previous experience in care or supporting people with disabilities is welcome but not essential, as full training will be provided.

More Than Just Your Salary

We believe in nurturing potential - for the children and young people we support, and for our colleagues too. That's why we invest in you with:

  • Competitive salary
  • 25–30 days' annual leave (plus bank holidays), increasing with length of service
  • Healthcare Cash Plan, wellbeing support and a 24/7 Doctor Line
  • Enhanced pension scheme and Death in Service benefit
  • Enhanced maternity, adoption and paternity leave
  • Cycle to Work scheme
  • Retail and leisure discounts
  • Free onsite parking
  • Onsite café and kitchen facilities

We'll also cover the cost of your enhanced DBS check and all future renewals.
