Job Introduction

At Turning Point, we support people with Learning Disabilities across England.

Where will I be working? 

You will be working in one of our services in Broadstairs. Our services offer a 24-hour supported living facilities in providing support for adults with Learning Disabilities. We tailor our support to enable people to be as independent as possible.

Within this location we support people with learning and physical disabilities to live within their own purpose-built flats, one area sees 6 flats and another supports 4 people. Support Workers are linked to work with a specific person based on shared preferences and personalities creating a bespoke core team of staff.

People that we support here have a mixture of communication, mobility and health needs and these would be described as quieter environments.

This location offers a bus route for those using public transport and is within a walking distance to the busy Broadstairs town.

Shift Pattern: 

This is a 24-hour service therefore flexibility is essential. You will be working a range of shifts from 7:00/8:00 am to 2:00/3:00 pm and 2:00/3:00 pm to 9:00/10:00 pm, sleep ins or waking nights, some weekends.

Please note that working hours may vary from service to service.

Average potential earnings are £25,383 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
