Job description

Job Introduction

This position does not meet the requirements for sponsorship under current UK immigration guidelines. This is a 24‑hour service, therefore we can be flexible to meet your preferences where possible. A good work/life balance is important to us all and we do require people to take their share of working weekend and evenings. We have short days, long days and sleep‑ins available but not an essential requirement. Our rota is published 8 weeks in advance so you can plan your life too!

About the role

Are you looking for a rewarding job, making a real difference to people's lives and supporting them to achieve their goals? Can you see yourself providing support to adults and helping them improve their independent living skills and lead a meaningful and active life? You will be encouraging the people we support to live life to their full potential. This will include a variety of community activities, promoting and developing their daily living skills, supporting with medication and health appointments, and supporting to manage their personal budgets.

Whilst knowledge of learning disabilities or autism may be beneficial, it isn't essential. We have great mentors with a wealth of experience.

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 look for new ways to inspire change. We owe it to the people we work with 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 all communicate in an authentic and confident way that blends support and challenge.
• We are here to embrace change even when it is complex and uncomfortable.
• We treat each other and those we support as individuals, however difficult and challenging.
• We deliver better outcomes by encouraging ideas and new thinking.
• We commit to building a strong and financially viable Turning Point together.

About us

As a leading health and social care provider with more than 300 locations across England, we take real pride in the services we offer. We run all of our services on a not‑for‑profit basis; instead, we invest every penny back into our services and people. We never stop believing in change for the better, and we work constantly to improve the lives of the people we support.
