Night Coach TM

A Night Coach at Super Care provides safety and reassurance when the world is quiet. The children in this home are highly active during the day, but night-time can still bring challenges - sometimes difficulty settling, sometimes waking unsettled or distressed. Your role is to provide calm consistency, making sure they feel safe and supported through the night. Nights require vigilance as well as compassion.

You'll handle routines like hygiene prompting or medication, respond if behaviours escape, and ensure the home stays peaceful. It's a role for someone calm under pressure, who can bring a steady presence in the small hours.
