Job Introduction
Do you have a caring nature? Are you looking to make a difference in people's lives? Do you want to work in an environment where no two days are the same? Are you flexible with your working hours? Can you see yourself providing care to adults who need your support?
If you answered YES to these questions, we would love to hear from you.
At Turning Point, we support people with Learning Disabilities across England.
As a Support Worker, you will make a real difference in residents' lives by helping to improve their daily living skills. Passionate about people, you will enjoy the scope and support to enhance your own life and career, gaining valuable experience and training to progress with us.
Where will I be working?
We provide support for adults with learning disabilities and physical disabilities.
You will be required to adopt a person-centred approach in all aspects of the clients' lives, including managing their home, providing some personal care, helping them access local community facilities, and maintaining contact with important people in their lives. Our services are tailored to enable people to be as independent as possible. You will support individuals with learning disabilities, Autism, and other health conditions. You may be asked to attend GP and hospital appointments. A full UK driving license is preferable.
We use a digital social care record system to support daily recording, making your day-to-day tasks easier and allowing more time to spend with the People We Support.
Shift Patterns
This is a 24-hour service, so flexibility is essential. You will work a range of shifts from 7:00 am to 2:00/3:00 pm and 2:00/3:00 pm to 9:00/10:00 pm, including sleep-ins or waking nights, some weekends. Please note that shift times may vary.
Role Responsibilities
What will I be doing?
This is a hands-on role where no two days are the same. Your duties will include:
* Promoting independence among the people we support

* Organizing activities in the home and community
* Developing residents' life skills and personal interests
* Helping residents stay safe and healthy
* Assisting with personal care needs
* Supporting people with medication management
* Maintaining accurate records and contributing to service monitoring
The Ideal Candidate
What skills and qualities do I need?
While knowledge of learning disabilities and complex needs is beneficial, it is not essential. What matters most is that you are:
* Passionate, caring, and enthusiastic
* Flexible, patient, and non-judgemental
* A great team player with energy
* Capable of performing physical tasks such as manual handling
* Experience in helping people manage anxiety (transferable skills are acceptable)
