As a Night Support Worker your role would be to provide cover to the building at night, ensuring the support and safety of the residents and the building. The post-holder will be responsible for controlling and/or monitoring access to the building, dealing with emergencies, carrying out Health and Safety checks and communicating any concerns or events to the rest of the team.
