Job Introduction

This position does not meet the requirements for sponsorship under current UK immigration guidelines

Do you have a caring nature? Are you looking to make a difference to 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 have answered a big 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 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.

Where will I be working?

The supported living service is a 15-minute walk from Castleford Bus Station. We support a mixture of male and female individuals within their own homes and within the community. 

Each individual has their own flat and amenities. The individuals have their own activities they enjoy from walking group to Karaoke. We have a small team of staff that work across all the people living within the building. The individuals that we support have some cognitive and sensory impairments

You will be required to provide person-centred support in all aspects of their lives, including managing their home, some personal care, maintaining contact with other important people in their lives, and accessing their local community facilities such as shops, banks, and health care services. We tailor our services to enable people to be as independent as possible. Some of clients can show challenging behaviours from time to time. 

We use a digital social care record system, to support daily recording, which will make your day-to-day tasks easier and allows you to spend more time with the People We Support. Some aspects of this role will involve lone working.

Shift Patterns

This is a 24 hour service and will require the flexibility to work a shift pattern that includes evenings, weekends, and bank holidays in turn as part of a team.  As a person-centred provision, we will look to develop shift patterns around the support needs of the people being supported, and therefore it’s unlikely that there will be a ‘standard’ shift time, and it’s likely that the pattern of work will evolve as people’s lives evolve.

Please note that the shifts may vary.

Role Responsibility

This is a hands-on job in which no two days are the same. Your duties will include:

• promoting the independence of 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 individual’s life skills and personal interests
• helping individual’s to stay safe and healthy
• assisting with personal care needs
• manual handling if required
• 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?

It 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
• transferable experience of helping people to manage anxiety

It is desirable that you have;

• knowledge and experience of learning disabilities and complex needs
• a full driving license and access to a vehicle with business class insurance cover.

About us

As a leading health and social care provider with more than 300 locations across England, we take real pride in the services we offer.

We run all of our services on a not-for-profit basis; instead, we invest every penny back into our services and people. We never stop believing in change for the better, and we work constantly to improve the lives of the people we support.

We know reward looks different to each person and so whether its ways to make your money go further, a culture supporting recognition and celebration, or opportunities to boost your career – we want to support you in every way we can with our total reward package.

You will get 29 days’ paid holiday a year, increasing with each year of service up to 31 days. Plus the option to buy additional holidays and spread the cost.
