Asleep Overnight Direct Support Staff (female only)

If you’re someone who finds purpose in creating calm, safe spaces and being there when it matters most, this role offers a unique opportunity to support individuals in a way that’s both impactful and balanced.  

As an Asleep Overnight Direct Support Staff, you’ll help ensure peace of mind through the night and set the tone for a successful day ahead—all while working a schedule that allows for rest during your shift. This is a sleep-designated role, with the expectation that you’ll wake and respond when needed to support residents and ensure safety.  

This is more than an overnight position—it’s a chance to be a steady, reassuring presence and support individuals in living with dignity, independence, and confidence. 

At Advocates, we provide comprehensive services for people facing developmental, mental health, or other life challenges.
