Make a Meaningful Difference Every Night

Glenholme Specialist Healthcare is currently recruiting a Male Waking Night Support Worker to provide dedicated 1:1 support to a young man with complex needs at Warwick Manor, Bedford.

This is not a sleep-in role – this is a fully waking night position where you will provide active, consistent support throughout the shift.

The individual you will be supporting has complex needs, including behaviours that challenge and self-injurious behaviours, so previous experience supporting individuals with learning disabilities and challenging behaviour is essential.

You will play a vital role in maintaining safety, dignity, and stability throughout the night, as well as supporting morning routines and preparing the individual for college.

The service provides a safe, structured, and nurturing environment for individuals who require consistent and specialist support. With 24-hour staffing and a strong, experienced leadership team, Warwick Manor promotes independence while ensuring robust and responsive care.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
