When others are asleep, you’re the one who provides a sense of security
It’s three in the morning. The hallways are quiet. Most people are asleep. But not everyone. Some need a reassuring voice. Some need help. Some just need to know that someone is there.
That’s when you make the biggest difference. As an on-call night shift worker in Adapted Services (TT), you’re more than just a night watchman. You’re a source of comfort when anxiety strikes. You’re the one who sees what others don’t. The one who meets people with calm, care, and professional reassurance—even when the rest of the world is asleep.

A Job with Meaning
Our night watch staff help ensure that residents experience safety, care, and predictability throughout the night. Some nights are quiet. Others require quick assessments and action. What they all have in common is that you’re there when it matters most. With us, you’ll get:

• meaningful work
• valuable experience in health and social care
• flexibility that fits well alongside your studies or another job
• skilled colleagues who support one another
  

Who are we looking for?
You may be a student, a healthcare worker, a nurse, a social care worker, or have experience working with people who need extra support in their daily lives. The most important thing for us is that you:

• are confident, responsible, and caring
• can be there when needed
• handle unexpected situations calmly
• treat people with respect and warmth
• want a job that makes a difference

Why night shifts?
Because some of the most important work happens when no one else is watching. Because safety doesn’t take a break when the day is over. Because you know that simply being there can mean everything to someone.

Ready to make a difference?
We review applications on an ongoing basis and will contact suitable candidates.
When others are sleeping, we need someone who’s awake. Maybe that’s you.
