As a Support Worker, you will make a real difference to people’s lives. You may also make a positive difference to your own life. We are passionate about people, including our staff. You will receive bespoke training and development opportunities. 100% of our management team in Northumberland began their career with Turning Point as support workers. We realize, though, that not everyone wants to climb the ladder, which is perfect too — many of our staff have remained happy in a support worker role for over 15 years.

Role Responsibility

Where will I be working?

Our service in Berwick provides a 24-hour supported living service on the outskirts of a historic coastal town with good access to public transport. We support 6 amazing individuals who are very unique in their own right.

What will I be doing?

You will encourage the people we support to live life to their full potential. This includes participating in community activities, promoting and developing their daily living skills, supporting with medication and health appointments, and assisting with managing their personal budgets.

Working Patterns

This is a 24-hour service, so we can be flexible to meet your preferences where possible. A good work/life balance is important to us, and we do require staff to share weekend and evening shifts. We offer short days, long days, and sleep-ins, which are available but not essential. Our rota is published 8 weeks in advance, allowing you to plan your life accordingly.

The Ideal Candidate

What skills and qualities do I need to have?

While knowledge of learning disabilities or autism may be beneficial, it is not essential. We have great mentors with a wealth of experience.

What is essential is that you are prepared to embody our vision and values.

Our vision and values are the heart of Turning Point; they are the essence of who we are, what we do, and why we are here.

Our Vision: To constantly find new ways to support more people to discover new possibilities in their lives. The quality of our services means everything to us. The people we work with inspire us, and in turn, we seek new ways to inspire change. We owe it to the people we support to grow and shape the future because we believe in what we do.

Our Values

We believe that everyone has the potential to grow, learn, and make choices.

We communicate in an authentic and confident way that supports and challenges.

We embrace change, even when it is complex and uncomfortable.

We treat each other and those we support as individuals, regardless of challenges.

We encourage ideas and new thinking to deliver better outcomes.

We are committed to building a strong and financially viable Turning Point together.
