Considering a career in homelessness and prevention?:

Homelessness and Prevention


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 are excited to offer a position for a support practitioner to join our friendly team.

While familiarity with homelessness matters would be beneficial, it is not a requirement as our experienced team will guide you as you grow in your new role.

What matters to us is your sincere dedication to helping individuals secure and sustain their own homes.


Our primary office is located on Sandyford Road in Renfrew, just off the motorway and easily reachable by public transportation, with a bus stop right outside.

While having a driving license would be beneficial for this outreach service, it is not a mandatory requirement considering the diverse composition of our staff team.


Why not learn more about the position? Join us at our open day at the service located at 1 Sandyford Road, PA3 4HP on Saturday, June 29th, from 11am to 3pm.

Our welcoming team will be there to guide you through the role.


We believe a menu of options should be available to individuals to prevent, or support someone to move on from Homelessness.

This ensures we use a 'no wrong door' approach to accessing service and behind this door, people should be met with a 'Whole System Approach' to support.


We deliver a range of outreach services including Housing Support (Short and Long Term / Intensive); Housing First and Crisis Support.


Our ambitions are high for those we help; we want everyone to reach their full potential, to become active and valued members of their community, to acquire the life skills and decision-making capabilities to lead a stable productive and fulfilling life.

We will challenge, coach and encourage to help achieve this, sometimes involving the peer support of others who have shared similar personal journeys.


We are also active members of the European Federation of National Organisations with the Homeless (FEANTSA) and founding Members of the Housing First Europe Hub.
