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.

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.

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.

Passionate, caring and enthusiastic

Flexible, patient and non-judgemental

A great team player with lots of energy
