Weston, United Kingdom Turning Point Full time

**Job Introduction**:
Please note this role is not eligible for sponsorship.

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.

How do I get there? This service is easily accessible by car, and this would take 18 minutes depending on traffic, therefore being a driver is essential as the service is not on a bus route.

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 Service**_ _**is located in the beautiful countryside of Weston under Wetherley. There are six individuals that we support who have varying levels of Learning Disabilities. The bungalow is purpose built and overlooks countryside and fields of horses. There are health issues such as Dementia, epilepsy, mobility issues, non-verbal communication and a requirement of lots of personal care.

Staff will develop communication skills and work in a person centred way to enhance lives bringing quality to everyday living within a well-established staff team.

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.

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 including early mornings, late evenings, waking nights, sleep-ins and some weekends.

**Average potential earnings are £25,158 based on 37 hours.**
- *Potential average earnings are a culmination of colleagues working additional shifts and where applicable sleep ins**_
- ** sleep ins are not required in all services_
- **not all colleagues will work overtime and therefore potential earnings will differ_

**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**:
**Why Turning Point?**

We take pride in the services that we provide. There is one vision that everyone at Turning Point shares, which is held together by our values. These include believing in potential, communicating in a confident way, embracing change and treating each other as individuals.

Running services on a not-for-profit basis, we invest every penny back into our services - and, our people. So, if you are enthusiastic, motivated and committed to support people with Learning Disabilities to live fulfilling lives - here at Turning Point, we don't just offer you a job: we offer you a career.

**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 opportunit
