Turnaround

£11.08 per hour


Get a taste of working with an excellent employer:

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.


  • 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.


Our Turnaround Service are looking for cooks who can produce high quality food for the people who use our service offering a nutritious and appetising range of food encompassing the requirements of vegetarian, vegan and cultural cuisine for clients with special dietary needs.

You will be responsible for maintaining a hygienic kitchen/workspace, stock rotation and ordering, as well as invoicing and basic administration.


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.


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.
