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 Turnaround 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. The Turning Point Scotland Turnaround service delivers focused services that address the complex and interrelated issues of offending behaviour and problematic use of alcohol and other drugs. In 2018, we redesigned our service to also include a Throughcare model. Since 2007, we have worked alongside councils and social work departments within 22 local authorities. An asset-based approach has been adopted to help increase an individual's self-awareness, self-esteem, and confidence. Self-development and reflection are key when putting into practice the skills and learning achieved within the service to help sustain recovery and manage offending behaviour. The support we provide is always person-centred, involving people who know the individual 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 will offer you full support in completing your application. As a 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 personal outcomes in all aspects of their daily lives, such as keeping safe, engaging in meaningful activities, community involvement, physical health, relationships, and emotional well-being. 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. We value lived experience; please click here to read more about our views.
