What are 'Awake' jobs?

Awake jobs typically refer to positions in healthcare, especially in residential or care home settings, where staff members are required to remain alert and attentive throughout their shift, usually overnight. The primary responsibility is to monitor residents or patients, ensure their safety, and respond to any needs or emergencies while others sleep. These roles are crucial for maintaining a safe environment and providing immediate assistance if needed.
