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 an important part 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.
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.
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.
As a Nurse, 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.
Turning Point Scotland operates a List of Approved Relief Workers who may be contacted by services when there is a need to engage additional workers in order to provide the required support to someone who uses our services. Relief Workers are primarily deployed to cover periods of leave or sickness absence and to provide additional support during periods of peak activity.
If you would like to chat about any aspect of the role, please call our Recruitment & Engagement Team on 0808 1643100.
