### 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 peoples
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.
### The Ideal Candidate
**What skills and qualities do I need to have?**
Whilst knowledge of learning disabilities and complex needs would be
beneficial, it isnt 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

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.

service up to 31 days. Plus the option to buy additional holidays and spread
the cost.
