Overview
Contract Permanent
We are hiring! If you have a passion for helping vulnerable people to gain fulfilment and feel included in their community, our opportunities to work away from routine in a demanding, challenging but emotionally rewarding role could be for you. Our Turning Point Scotland Turnaround services in Turnaround are looking for people to provide individualised support to adults with a wide range of needs, either on a 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 including Angus, Argyll & Bute, Clackmannanshire, Dumfries & Galloway, East Ayrshire, East Dunbartonshire, East Renfrewshire, Fife, Inverclyde, North Ayrshire, Renfrewshire, South Ayrshire, South Lanarkshire and West Dunbartonshire.
A asset-based approach has been adopted to help increase an individual’s self-awareness, self-esteem and confidence. Self-development and reflection are key to an individual when putting into practice the skills and learning achieved within the service to help sustain their recovery and offending behaviour.
The support we provide is always person centred, we do this by involving people who know the person well, including family and friends, other health and Social Work professionals, Advocacy services and our own staff members. 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.
Role – Lead 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).
Travel requirement – Due to the rural location and lack of public transport/safe pedestrian links, you must be able to travel independently to the service.
Requirements – IT skills are required for all vacancies. Where applicable, successful candidates will be required to register with the SSSC within 6 months of start date. We value lived experience; please read more about our views.
