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.
This is a bank contract; if you lead a busy life and want to pick up a few shifts here and there, this would be ideal for you.
At Turning Point, we support people with Learning Disabilities and mental health issues across England.
As a Support Worker, you will make a real difference to people's 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?
You will be working in one of our supported living facilities in Barnsley or supporting people with mental health needs in their own home or local community. Our services offer support for adults with Learning Disabilities and individuals with mental health needs. We tailor our support to enable people to be as independent as possible.
This role will entail lone working.

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.
1. Level 2 and 3 Lead Adult Care Worker
2. 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 for individuals with a learning disability; 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.

3. A great team player with lots of energy
4. Able to complete the physical aspects of the role such as manual handling where needed
