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.

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 Parkview. We are a 24 hour Residential Care Home providing care for people with Learning Disabilities for over 10 years. We accommodate up to six people with profound Learning Disabilities. We tailor our services to enable people to be as independent as possible and to assist them to live healthy, active lives.

Shift Patterns

This is a 24 hour service, therefore flexibility is essential. You will be required to work a mix of day shifts and night shifts.

Please note that you must be a driver to be considered for this role.

• 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?

• 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

Our Vision

A world where all child refugees are welcomed, safe and inspired with hope to
rebuild their lives for a better future.

Our mission

It  is  our  mission  to  serve  young  people  who  have  been  forced  to  flee  their  home
country – offering safe homes, education, therapeutic care and support in every area
of their lives.

We believe each young person, many of whom are victims of human trafficking, has a
dignity  worth  celebrating,  talents  worth  discovering  and  a  life  to  live  to  its  fullest
potential, no matter their past experiences nor present circumstances.
We  are  committed  to  providing  an  inspiring  environment  that  raises  hope  and
strengthens resilience.

Our Values

Respect
Treating everyone with dignity in all circumstances.

Integrity
Unexaggerated truth, expressed with humility, purity of motive and
sincerity of intention, in both our words and deeds.

Passion
Embracing risk for the sake of the mission, with courage to take bold risks and to
innovate despite adversity.

Grace
Costly additional opportunity for everyone, to enable us to be our best by being
perpetual learners.

Compassion
Serving sacrificially, rooted in an unwavering zeal to seek the best for those we
serve and not self.

Wisdom
Finding a way through a challenge by listening, learning, perceiving what is at stake,
applying insight and considering diverse options.

Our Impact, Outcomes and Goals

We  are  passionate  about  seeing  the  young  people  we  serve  become  positive  and
empowered individuals, building on their resilience and strengths to contribute to the
world around them.

Outcomes

We deliver this impact through our therapeutic support for all areas of life, specifically
aimed  at  achieving  the  following  outcomes  -  Increased  Personal  Safety,  Increased
engagement  with  Education,  Employment  and  Training,  Improved  Emotional
Wellbeing, Improved Physical Wellbeing and Increased Social engagement.

Strategic Goals

Strengthen Baca’s holistic service for young, forced migrants

Enhance Baca’s service to maximise the potential of each young person

Engage  locally,  regionally  and  nationally  to  see  a  world  where  child  refugees  are
welcomed, safe and have hope to rebuild their lives for a better future.

Thank you very much for your interest in this role at Baca. We support young people
who  have  been  forced  to  flee  their  home  country,  because  of  war,  persecution,  or
trafficking. We provide the support they need which includes a safe home, education
and therapeutic care. The young people we serve have lost the only life they know
and have overcome all the odds to reach safety. Their courage inspires us but without
support they are at extreme risk of harm and exploitation.

We  are  committed  to  providing  an  inspiring  environment  that  raises  hope  and
strengthens  resilience  –  enabling  them  to  fulfil  their  potential  and  become  thriving
members of the community. We consider it an absolute privilege to be able to walk
with them on a daily basis. We take heart from the several positive stories of young
people’s  transition  into  adulthood,  establishing  their  lives  and  being  a  positive
contribution  to  the  world  around  them.  However,  we  recognise  the  huge  pressures
they continue to face and therefore, we believe there is still a long way to go as we
continue to learn from them. We believe there are greater depths of development for
each young person to achieve so that they do not fall back into exploitation or any
other dangerous environment.

If  successful,  you  will  be  joining  a  passionate  and  committed  team,  with  strong
expertise. You will find that the team are committed to our values, which has built a
culture that seeks to allow everyone to be their best in order to give their best for the
sake of the young people we serve.  I hope you will find all the information you need
in this pack or on www.bacacharity.org.uk to help you complete your application.

We wish you all the best,
