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 Renfrewshire 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's Renfrewshire Learning Disability Services deliver a Care at Home and Housing Support service for a large number of people who have learning and physical disabilities living across the Renfrewshire and East Renfrewshire areas.

The accommodation includes 2 core and cluster services. Individuals who are supported by the service live either on their own or share with others. Individual's homes are located throughout Renfrewshire. Most people receive 24 hour support.


The staff who work in Renfrewshire Learning Disability services are committed to ensuring that individuals are always included in the development, implementation and review of their personal life plans.

The ethos of the service is to assist people to meet their personal, social, educational and domestic aspirations in accordance with Keys to Life.

Our staff work in a person centred, outcome focussed manner, working in partnership with Renfrewshire Council Social Work Department and community healthcare teams will ensure peoples' support needs are fully met.

We are registered with the Care Commission and work in partnership with a number of external agencies i.e. Social Work Department, Community Learning Disability Teams, and Housing Associations etc.

The individuals we support are provided with the opportunity to become involved in their local and surrounding community. Our management structure, together with the administration team enables us to monitor closely the service we provide.

All our staff, regardless of their position, receive extensive training which enables them to carry out their job to a high standard.


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.


You will be required to undertake a programme of basic training which is primarily designed to enable you to operate safely, but also to meet the organisation's obligations to you in terms of health & safety legislation.


Relief Working at Turning Point Scotland will not normally be suitable for people who have full-time posts with other agencies.
