Barnsley, United Kingdom Turning Point Full time

**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 and mental health issues across England.

As a Support Worker, you will make a real difference to people's 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?**

I am looking for an enthusiastic, flexible, support worker, who will be able to support me and enable me to visit new places and have new experiences. I have my own car so you will need to be able to drive.

I do have epilepsy and sometimes need to have rescue medication but all of my staff are trained to do this. I need my support workers to work with me constantly as, at times, I can display challenging behaviours.

I enjoy playing video games and watching my DVDs and I sometimes like to have a game against my staff

I live on my own, in my own house and my staff work directly with me. If you feel you have the right skills and personality to meet my needs, please apply.

**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**

I have 24 hour support over 7 days a week which includes day shifts, lates and sleep ins therefore flexibility is essential. You will be working a range of shifts from 7:00/8:00 am 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 working hours may vary from service to service.

**_You will need a full, current, UK driving license for this role. You will NOT be expected to use your own vehicle but will instead be added on to our open mobility insurance and will use our client vehicles._**

**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

**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

**About us**:
