We are hiring! - Work with Us
Turning Point Scotland is the biggest provider of services to people experiencing or at risk of Homelessness across Scotland, delivering support to around 2000 individuals on any given day, 4500 per year.
We believe that in many cases, Homelessness is entirely preventable. Where Homelessness is not or cannot be prevented, the experience should be brief and non-recurring.
We provide support to people who are:
* At risk of Homelessness; and/or
* Need some support to protect their home.
Around two thirds of our work is with people who are experiencing Homelessness.
We deliver a range of outreach services including Housing Support (Short and Long Term / Intensive); Housing First and Crisis Support.
As a 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.
This role requires you to have a valid UK driver licence and access to your own car as travel to provide support is required across the area.
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 start date.
Turning Point Scotland offers a Salary Matching within the pay points of the role.
Interviews will take place at our Dumfries Office on 27th March 2025.
