Job Introduction
At Turning Point, we support people with Learning Disabilities across England.
As a Support Worker, you will make a real difference to people's 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.
Where will I be working?
You will be working in our service in Garlinge. We offer a 24-hour supported living facility in providing support for adults with Learning Disabilities. We tailor our support to enable people to be as independent as possible.
Within this location we support 8 people with learning and physical disabilities to live within their own purpose-built flats. Support Workers are linked to work with a specific person based on shared preferences and personalities creating a bespoke core team of staff.

Shift Patterns
This is a 24-hour service, therefore flexibility is essential. You will be working a range of shifts including nights and some weekends.
Average potential earnings are £25,383 based on 37 hours.
*Potential average earnings are a culmination of colleagues working additional shifts and where applicable sleep ins**
** sleep ins are not required in all services
***not all colleagues will work overtime and therefore potential earnings will differ
Role Responsibility
What will I be doing?
This is a hands-on job in which no two days are the same. Your duties will include:
Promoting the independence of the people we support
Supporting a full range of daily activities including cleaning and cooking, days out or going away on holiday
Arranging activities in the home and in the local community
Developing residents' life skills and personal interests
Helping residents stay safe and healthy
Assisting with personal care needs
Manual handling
Supporting people with medication
Ensuring record keeping is maintained to the required standard at all times and contributing to service monitoring requirements
The Ideal Candidate
What skills and qualities do I need to have?
Whilst knowledge of learning disabilities and complex needs would be beneficial, it isn't 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
Able to complete the physical aspects of the role such as manual handling where needed
