At Turning Point, we support people with Learning Disabilities across England. We strive to constantly find ways to support more people to discover new possibilities in their lives. The quality of our support means everything to us. The people we work with inspire us and in turn we look for new ways to inspire change. We owe it to the people we work with to grow and shape the future, because we believe in what we do.
We endeavour to create positive family relationships offering a good circle of support. There is a strong focus on supporting individuals'' lives in a person-centred way which includes various activities, shopping, managing own budgets and cooking. We tailor our services to enable people to be as independent as possible.
Would you like to support people with learning disabilities to have an inclusive and fulfilling life with opportunities to access the wider communities, i.e. attending concerts, sports events, general day to day outings, also supporting on holidays/breaks?
Are you looking to help people grow independence, learn new skills, live a healthy and active life? If so, why not join our team today where you can have a growing role in helping amazing people achieve their goals each day
We are looking for people to help provide high-quality person-centred care on a full-time, part-time basis, as well as Bank Staff.
Where will I be working?
Cornish Close is 5 terraced bungalows next to each other in a private off road, cul de sac. Cornish Close support 14 people (4 people in 2 of the bungalows, 2 people in the other 3 bungalows), who have physical, learning and mental difficulties, as well as epilepsy, autism. People who live at Cornish Close are supported to live their lives to the fullest and their teams provide care, support and a close knit community atmosphere for all those that live there. You will support people with their emotional, physical and cultural needs as well as assisting with any personal care needs that is needed and all aspects of daily life.
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.
