Because People Matter - Work with Us
Do you have a passion for helping vulnerable people enjoy as much fulfilment as they can and feel included in their community? If compassion, care, and inclusiveness are important parts of who you are, our opportunities to work away from the routine in a demanding, challenging but emotionally rewarding role could be for you. Our Turning Point Scotland Services in Perth & Kinross are looking for people like you to help provide individualised support to adults with a wide range of needs, either on an individual 1:1 basis or alongside others and as part of a team. At Turning Point Scotland Perth & Kinross, we deliver services for people who have a learning disability or autism and unique and complex behaviours which challenge the service: many of the individuals we support have some forensic histories. We support people who live in 24/7 supported accommodation projects. We also provide support within our outreach service to people with learning disabilities within the area of Perth & Kinross. We work in a person-centred way, tailoring support to meet the needs of the people we support, maximising choice and autonomy while assessing and managing risk in conjunction with the Tayside Risk Management Group. We also offer support through our garden project at the Perth Harbour-side. This offers the chance for people to develop skills for future employment, gain confidence, and work with others in a positive and supportive environment. The support we provide is always person-centred, involving people who know the person well, including family, friends, other health and social work professionals, advocacy services, and our own staff members. No previous working experience is needed; full training will be provided. We believe having the right values of respect, compassion, inclusion, and integrity is all you need to join our team! We would offer you full support in completing your application. As a Relief Support Practitioner, you will work with individuals who have a wide range of support needs, providing them with practical and emotional support and encouraging them to achieve their own personal outcomes in all aspects of their daily lives, e.g., keeping safe, meaningful activities, community involvement, physical health, relationships, emotional health, and wellbeing. Please note that IT skills are required for all our vacancies. Where applicable, successful candidates will be required to register with the SSSC within 6 months of the start date. Turning Point Scotland operates a List of Approved Relief Workers who may be contacted by services when there is a need to engage additional workers to provide the required support to someone who uses our services. Relief Workers are primarily deployed to cover periods of leave or sickness absence and to provide additional support during periods of peak activity. When there is suitable work available within a service, a manager will contact Relief Workers to offer them a shift/series of shifts. As a Relief Worker, you will be well-placed to fit your work around your existing commitments, and you will be under no pressure or obligation to accept work if it does not suit you. However, once work is offered and accepted, there is an expectation that you will make every effort to attend that shift. Your reliability is very important to our services and to the people we support who will be expecting you. Relief Workers submit a Time Sheet to claim payment for the hours worked and are paid on a monthly basis. You will accrue some entitlement to paid holidays and be reimbursed for all reasonable expenses incurred in the course of your work for us. You will be required to undertake a programme of basic training designed to enable you to operate safely and to meet the organisation’s obligations to you in terms of health & safety legislation. Relief Working at Turning Point Scotland will not normally be suitable for people who have full-time posts with other agencies.
