For this role, we are looking for a proactive and responsible individual to oversee the health, safety and security of the building throughout the night.

The successful candidate will carry out regular health and safety checks of the building to ensure everyone’s safety, monitor CCTV systems, maintain a safe and secure environment, and respond appropriately to any incidents, emergencies or safeguarding concerns that arise during their shift. They will ensure that all building procedures are followed, that the premises remain secure overnight, and that any issues are reported and escalated in line with organisational policies.

The post holder will also play an important role in supporting the wellbeing of residents during the night, providing a calm, reassuring and approachable presence, offering a listening ear when needed, and helping to create a supportive atmosphere.
