Our Turning Point Scotland Services in Ayr 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.


Turning Point Scotland Ayr Supported Living and Transition Services


Turning Point Scotland Ayr's Supported Living Service works in partnership with South Ayrshire Council to deliver services to people who have Learning Disabilities or on the Autistic Spectrum to live in and maintain their own tenancies.

We have been successfully supporting adults in the South Ayrshire area since 2004.

Each individual has a committed staff team who work together to deliver a bespoke person centred package of support to meet the person's day to day needs with a focus on achieving agreed outcomes.


Since 2014 we have also been successfully working in partnership with South Ayrshire Council supporting young people with Learning Disabilities and individuals on the Autistic Spectrum in transition, from leaving school into community supports.

Support is individually tailored to meet the person's specific needs.

Supports are community based where people are supported to become active members of their community through accessing local resources, building on skills, maintaining and developing friendships and employment opportunities and working towards agreed outcomes.


We receive referral from people who use Self Directed Support and are familiar with processes involved in financing support via Individual service funds (ISF) and Direct Payments.

We tailor the services to meet the needs of the people we support and work on agreed outcomes to support the development of independence, confidence and self resilience.


The support we provide is always person centred, we do this by involving people who know the person well, this includes family and friends, other health and Social Work professionals, Advocacy services and our own staff members.


As a Relief Support 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.

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 etc


When there is suitable work available within a service, a manager will contact Relief Workers offer them a shift/series of shifts.

As a Relief Worker you will be well-placed to fit your work around your existing work or other commitments and you will be under no pressure or obligation to accept work from us if it does not suit you to do so.

Once work is offered and accepted by you however, there is an expectation that you will make every effort to attend to undertake that shift.

Your reliability in this regard is very important to our services and to the people we support who will be expecting you.


Relief Workers submit a Time Sheet to claim payment for the hours they have worked and are paid on a monthly basis.

You will accrue some entitlement to paid holidays and you will be reimbursed for all reasonable expenses incurred in the course of your work for us.
