Waking Nights Support Worker – Ash Vale / Mytchett (GU16)
Part-time role – Tuesday & Saturday nights, 10pm–7am
£12.92 per hour
At Dimensions, every night is a chance to make a meaningful difference. As a Waking Nights Support Worker in Mytchett, you’ll create a calm and reassuring environment, supporting people to feel safe, comfortable, and well throughout the night. Recognised as a Great Place to Work for seven years running, we’ll support you too — with training, wellbeing resources, and a workplace where you can be you.
About the people you’ll support
You’ll be working in a warm, friendly home supporting five adults aged 40–70, each with learning disabilities and their own personalities, routines, and interests. While your role is focused on nights, you’ll be part of a team that helps them live the life they choose.
Here are some of the things they love during the daytime, helping you understand their routines and what matters to them:
- Scenic drives — especially for one lady who enjoys the journey as much as the destination
- Meals out at the pub
- Arts and crafts
- Peaceful visits to Frimley Lodge Park
- Planning and going on holidays
Knowing what brings them joy helps you provide personalised, thoughtful night-time support.
What your night shifts will look like
As a Waking Nights Support Worker, you’ll stay awake and alert throughout your shift, ensuring safety, comfort, and continuity of care. You’ll be:
- Carrying out regular night-time wellbeing checks
- Repositioning people to maintain comfort and health
- Providing personal care with dignity and respect
- Keeping the home safe, clean, and comfortable with light household tasks
- Writing clear, simple documentation about events overnight
- Responding calmly and kindly if someone wakes, needs reassurance, or requires support
Every task contributes to a peaceful and secure night — for the people you support and their families.
Your working pattern
- Tuesday nights, 10pm–7am
- Saturday nights, 10pm–7am
- Part-time role (two waking-night shifts per week)
(Sleep-ins and day shifts are not part of this role.)
Who we’re looking for
You don’t need previous care experience — just compassion, patience, and a steady, reassuring presence at night. If you’re someone who is calm, attentive, and supportive even in the quiet hours, you’ll thrive here.
