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 and provide 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 and 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 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.
