Job Introduction

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

Job description

At Turning Point, we support people with Learning Disabilities across England.

As a Support Worker, you will make a real difference to residents' lives as you improve their daily living skills. Passionate about people, you will enjoy the scope and support to enhance your own life and career too, as you gain the experience and training you need to progress with us.

We offer a weekend bonus scheme - if you work an extra weekend day on top of the every other weekend as required for FT you will receive £100 for the shift, instead of the day rate of around £46.55, so effectively you will earn an extra £50 each time. £3,000 in additional payments based one 1 sleep in per week.

Where will I be working?

You will be working at our residential service where we support 8 individuals with Learning Disabilities. Our care services are about people's whole lives and therefore we make them human and personal. The culture is crucial and staff are its heart and model its values. Our homes manage risk, regulation and paperwork in an adult way and focus on relationships and people.

Our homes are a community of people with strong social networks. The homes are lived in with the individuals having control over their own space.

The homes are engaged with the community, and have good relationships with the local health community - GPs, hospital, nurses, consultants. Our homes find solutions with the person at the centre and work in partnership with key individuals.

Relatives are confident in the values of our care homes they are able to challenge when needed and to thank.

Families understand that staff are people too and have their own relationships with the people they support.

Our homes are part of a "whole" system with commissioners and regulators trusting and engaging in a supportive and appreciative way.

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, sleep ins or waking nights, some weekends.

Please note that working hours may vary from service to service.

Role Responsibility

What will I be doing?
