Job Introduction
Why Turning Point?
As a leading health and social care provider with more than 300 locations across England, we take real pride in the services we offer. Our organisation is held together by a shared vision – and our people are connected by the same values, including belief in potential, confidence in communication, embracing positive change, and always treating each other as individuals.
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 work constantly to improve the lives of the people we support.
If you are enthusiastic, motivated, and committed to supporting others to fulfill their potential, we offer you a career.
