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.

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?

Welcome to Sybden. We are a 24-hour residential care home providing care for people with Learning Disabilities for almost 20 years.

We accommodate up to six people with mild to severe Learning Disabilities. Majority of the people we support are non-verbal and will require assistance with their personal care, manual handling and medication.  We tailor our services to enable people to be as independent and ensure we focus on keeping our residents safe in the home and when accessing the community.

Shift Patterns

This is a waking nights position, with a shift pattern of 9pm-7am. You will be required to work 4 nights on Week 1, then 5 nights on Week 2, and so on.

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?

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
