Ossett, United Kingdom CV-Library 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 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.

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

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.

Join our team and discover the comprehensive benefits we offer by following the link below to explore all the exciting perks available to our employees.

 

We reserve the right to close this advert early if we are able to appoint to the vacancy before the advertised closing date.
