Job Description
A Night Team Leader at SuperCare provides steady guidance during the quietest but often most unpredictable hours of the day. The children in this Eastbourne home live with autism, ADHD, severe learning disabilities, and complex communication needs. While nights can bring moments of calm, they can also bring sudden challenges - a child waking distressed, needing help with toileting, or expressing themselves through biting, grabbing, or spitting. You'll be the person who ensures your team responds with patience, dignity, and consistency.
As the senior presence on shift, you'll lead by example. When the team needs direction, you'll be the one they turn to. When a child wakes confused or unsettled, you'll guide staff through compassionate, low-arousal strategies that keep everyone safe and supported.
What You'll Do
Lead the night shift, ensuring staff follow care plans and routines with consistency.
Provide and oversee personal care, continence support, and medication administration.
Model calm, trauma-informed responses to behaviours that challenge.
Support Night Coaches to feel confident and capable during incidents.
Maintain accurate records, safeguarding vigilance, and detailed handovers.
Hold the balance between practical leadership and compassionate presence.
What We're Looking For
You'll be experienced, resilient, and ready to support both children and colleagues.
At least 3 years in SEN, residential care, or learning disability support.
Level 3 Diploma in Children's Care (or equivalent).
Skilled in autism, ADHD, and non-verbal communication methods like PECS or Makaton.
Calm under pressure, consistent in approach, and empathetic in your leadership.
To transport the young people in and out of the community this role requires adults with a Full UK Driving License.
Benefits Working at SuperCare
At SuperCare, we believe supporting our staff is just as important as supporting our children.
Salary 20% above sector average
Rota: 22:00-08:00 (2 nights on, 2 nights off)
36 days of leadership and SEN training every year, including PBS and Team Teach
Fully funded Level 3 and 5 Diploma's

Gym stipend & wellbeing support
Pension & bonus scheme
Free parking and communal cars available
