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.

We aim to create positive family relationships and offer a supportive circle. Our focus is on supporting individuals in a person-centred way, including activities like shopping, managing budgets, and cooking. We tailor our services to enable maximum independence.
