Do you want a healthy work/life balance? We have the ideal opportunity for you. Because People Matter join us to reach your full potential at Turning Point Scotland.
You will be working every Saturday and Sunday within the hours of 9.30am - 5.30pm. We have an exciting new opportunity for the right person to run our kitchen, working and supporting people in recovery and adhering to Turning Point Scotland’s Ethos and Values – Because People Matter.
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.
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 to an individual when putting into practice the skills and learning achieved within the service to help sustain their recovery and offending behaviour.
As a Cook, 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 well-being.
You will manage the day to day running of the kitchen, taking control of food ordering, health and safety regulations and food standards legislation, whilst keeping a close eye on finances and budgeting.
You will teach and support our service users to return to mainstream employment after a period of ill health, boosting confidence and self-esteem while learning new on-the- job skills, and encouraging them to achieve their own personal goals.
