Wakefield England, United Kingdom Turning Point Full time


Want to make an application Make sure your CV is up to date, then read the following job specs carefully before applying.

Job Introduction

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.



Job description



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?



We are providing support for adults with learning disabilities and physical disabilities.



You will be required to provide a person-centred approach in all aspects of the client’s lives, including managing their home, some personal care, accessing their local community facilities, and maintaining contact with other important people in their lives. We tailor our services to enable people to be as independent as possible. You will be supporting people who have learning disabilities, Autism and other health conditions. You may be asked to attend GP appointments and hospital appointments. A full UK driving license is preferable.



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.



Training and Development



We offer training to all those who want to develop their skills and competencies not just in the care sector but in other areas too.




  • Level 2 and 3 Lead Adult Care Worker
  • Level 3 Operational Team Leader


Please note training will be offered after your probation period ends which is 6 months. Once you begin your training with us you will have your own coach who will support you through your programme.



Shift Patterns



This is a 24 hour service, therefore flexibility is essential. You will be working a range of shifts from 7:00am to 2:00/3:00pm and 2:00/3:00 pm to 9:00/10:00pm, sleep ins or waking nights, some weekends.



Please note that the shifts may vary.



Role Responsibility

What will I be doing? 



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 residents' life skills and personal interests
  • helping residents stay safe and healthy
  • assisting with personal care needs
  • manual handling
  • 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?



Whilst knowledge of learning disabilities and complex needs would be beneficial, it isn't essential. What 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


About us

What Benefits Will I Receive?
