Do you have a caring nature? Are you looking to make a difference in 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. We tailor our services to enable people to be as independent as possible.
Please note that this is a rural location.
Shift Patterns
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.
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
* 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 complete the physical aspects of the role such as manual handling where needed
