    If you share our values and are excited about making a significant impact at Riverside, please ensure you attach a current CV and covering letter. At Riverside we recruit to potential not just on skills and experience, so we encourage you to apply even if you don't meet all the essential criteria on the job description.

    The difference you will make as Night Support assistant.

    You will be key in the day-to-day running of one of our supported housing services during night shifts. We don't run care homes, so there's no need to provide personal care. The priority in your role includes the safety and wellbeing of everyone in our accommodation, including our customers.

    Working with people who have a range of needs, you could be doing any number of things. From supporting customers in conversations with calls from their GP, Social Services, or Benefits teams – to dealing with the emergency services including the Police and Ambulance, when the need arises.

    You'll log all incidents to make sure we have an accurate record of events. And when a customer leaves, you will clean and prepare their room, ready for the next occupant.

  • Experience of working with people in a customer facing environment
  • An understanding of supporting vulnerable people – this could include having your own lived experience of homelessness or drug or alcohol addiction.

    We have a portfolio of over 75,000 affordable residential and retirement homes across the UK. Our work ranges from homelessness services to social care, employment support to retirement living, and we need the best people on board to help us.

  • Investment in your learning, personal development and technology
  • A wide range of benefits
