In the rapidly changing UK Learning Disability sector, Turning Point does much more than just follow best practice. We aim to define its contours – whether exploring new ideas, improving standards of quality or broadening access to services across England and Wales. Our approach is person-centred, of course. But we’re driven by something much bigger: an uncompromising belief that people with a Learning Disability and complex needs should have the same opportunities in life as everyone else. That means challenging public perceptions of disability. It means making sure that people with a disability are treated fairly. And above all, it means pushing the boundaries so that they can lead a more positive, free and fulfilling life. Is it any wonder that our work in the provision of Learning Disability services is now the fastest-growing part of our social enterprise, having doubled in size in recent years? Or that we are looking for professionals with a powerful blend of leadership, communication and commercial skills to join us as Managing Director, Learning Disability Services and Director of Operations? The financial pressures faced by the sector make it more urgent than ever to think radically and develop truly fresh approaches to health and social care. Both these roles will be pivotal in providing leadership and strategic direction for Turning Point and for delivering key services today and in the future. You will help us shape the market, influence policy and stay at the cutting edge of innovative service delivery. It's all about building on our success so far and helping us transform what people with complex needs can aspire to and achieve. If you have the experience, skills, passion and personality to put your stamp on our organisation, and to make a profound difference to the lives of the people we deal with, then this could be the opportunity your whole career has been preparing you for. |
