Cheltenham Gloucestershire, United Kingdom Turning Point Full time





Job Introduction

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.

Turning Point support 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 will vary across our services. Some of the people we support have a profound and multiple learning disability and complex health needs others need assistance with daily activities, personal care, medication and mobility as well as daily living tasks.

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.

Shift Patterns

This is a 24 hour service, therefore flexibility is essential. You will be working a range of shifts from 7:30 am to 2:30 pm and 2:00 pm to 9:30 pm, floating shifts during the day and some weekends. You will need to work every second weekend.

Please note that weekend work is mandatory.





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

Having a driving licence is necessary. 





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.

What Benefits Will I Receive?

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.
