Everything we do is aimed at providing the very best quality and person-centred support in the right location at the right time, making a real difference for the people and communities we support.
Turning Point supports individuals across the country, and we are currently recruiting support workers for supported living locations across Cheltenham in Woodmancote and Hatherley.
Where will I be working?
You will be working at one of our supported living services in Cheltenham – GL51 or GL52. We offer 24-hour support to people with LD (learning disabilities) and Autism. The level of care required varies across our services. Some of the people we support have profound and multiple learning disabilities and complex health needs, while others need assistance with daily activities, personal care, medication, mobility, and daily living tasks.
We aim to create positive family relationships and a strong support circle. Our services focus on supporting individuals in a person-centred way, including activities like shopping, managing budgets, and cooking. We tailor our services to enable maximum independence.
Shift Patterns
This is a 24-hour service, so flexibility is essential. Shifts typically run from 7:30 am to 2:30 pm and 2:00 pm to 9:30 pm, with floating shifts during the day and some weekends. You will be required to work every second weekend.
Please note that weekend work is mandatory.
