Job Introduction

Do you have a caring nature? Are you looking to make a difference to people's lives? Do you want to work in an environment where no two days are the same? Are you flexible with your working hours? Can you see yourself providing care to adults who need your support?

If you have answered a big YES to these questions we would love to hear from you!

Turning Point takes pride in the services we provide. There is one vision that everyone shares at Turning Point, which is held together by our values. These include believing in potential, communicating in a confident way, embracing change and treating each other as individuals.

We run our services on a not-for-profit basis. We invest every penny back into our services - and, our people. So, if you are enthusiastic, motivated and committed to supporting people with learning disabilities to live fulfilling lives, then Turning Point is for you.

About the people you will be supporting:

We are a group of people with learning disabilities, that require high levels of support. We have lived together for a number of years. We enjoy spending time together but also have individual interests, to which we need support to be able to take part in.

We support people that can demonstrate behaviours that can be considered challenging.

The majority of the people we support need a high level of support with regard to personal care although moving and handling needs are minimal.

Please note that you must be a driver to be considered for this role.

Shift Patterns:

This is a 24 hour service, therefore flexibility is essential. You will be working a range of shifts from 7:00/8:00 am to 2:00/3:00pm and 2:00/3:00 pm to 9:00/10:00pm.

Please note that working hours may vary.

• Assisting with our personal care needs

• Ensuring our health and safety is maintained
• Making sure we have an interesting and varied day
• Liaising with the Landlord regarding our tenancies and any repairs.

The Ideal Candidate

Whilst knowledge of our learning disabilities and complex needs would be beneficial, it is not essential; what is essential is that you are:

• Passionate, caring and enthusiastic
• Flexible, patient and non-judgemental
• A great team player with lots of energy
• Able to demonstrate good communication skills, including understanding non-verbal communication
• Able to complete the physical aspects of the role such as manual handling where needed
