Join a career that cares
Turning Point Scotland's Glasgow Alcohol and Drug Crisis Service provides integrated health and social care, offering low-threshold, direct access services for individuals experiencing crises related to alcohol or drug use, including those who may be homeless. Services include a crisis residential unit, 24-hour injecting equipment provision (needle exchange), wound care, harm reduction advice, signposting, and naloxone training and provision.
As with any residential facility, maintenance and repairs are essential to ensure safety and comfort. We seek a confident individual capable of addressing and rectifying minor issues, focusing on basic electrical repairs (fuses, plug malfunctions, bulb replacements), overseeing external contractors, and performing basic joinery tasks (window and door repairs). Routine decoration tasks, such as applying emulsion and gloss finishes internally, will also be part of the role.
The role primarily operates Monday to Friday, 9 am to 5 pm, with some flexibility around start and end times for the right candidate.
IT skills are essential for all our roles.
