FitzRoy Supported Living services in March provide care and support to three ladies living across two bungalows, as well as a young gentleman in his own bungalow. The people we support enjoy accessing their local community, spending time with family, and welcoming loved ones into their homes for BBQs and shared meals. The service is based in a welcoming residential area, close to local shops and a nearby park.

We are looking for kind, compassionate female Night Support Workers to join our friendly and supportive team. This is a rewarding role where you can make a genuine difference to people’s lives while working in a calm, person‑centred environment.

The Role

As a Support Worker, you’ll play an important role in helping the people we support feel safe, comfortable, and reassured throughout the night. Your presence and support help ensure consistency of care and peace of mind for the people we support.

To meet the needs of the service, you’ll need to have availability across all 7 nights of the week, including weekends. Rotas are planned in advance and managed fairly, with a focus on teamwork and continuity of care.

  • Promote dignity, independence, choice, and control
  • Support with personal care where required
  • Carry out night‑time checks and routine tasks

What We’re Looking For

  • A caring, respectful, and compassionate approach
  • Availability to work nights across the week
  • Reliability and a calm, patient manner
  • Good communication and teamwork skills
  • Willingness to learn and develop

No previous social care experience is required — we provide full, paid training and ongoing support to help you succeed in the role.

  • £13.00 per hour
  • 37.5 hours per week
  • Weekend and overtime enhancement rates

Testimonials

“It’s hard to put into words what has motivated me to stay at FitzRoy for 50 years. I love working with the people we support, it really is all down to them. The connection you make with them and the difference you are making is the real delight of the job.”

“You don’t become a support worker unless you want to help people and make a difference to someone’s life. That’s what made me want to do this job – I have always been a caring person and I wanted to help give people with learning disabilities a voice.”

“FitzRoy is such an incredible place to work, everyone really cares about the people we support. I am genuinely passionate about improving their quality of life, and when you see the people we support achieving a goal I feel immense job satisfaction.”
