**Service: South Lanarkshire Alcohol & Other Drugs service**

**Based: South Lanarkshire**

**Salary: £11.08 per hour**

**Because People Matter - Work with Us**:
Our Turning Point Scotland Services in South Lanarkshire 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 SOUTH LANARKSHIRE ALCOHOL & OTHER DRUGS REACHOUT SERVICE**

The South Lanarkshire Alcohol & Other Drugs REACHOUT Service will work within the Alcohol & Drug Partnership to establish a service focusing on supporting people over the age of 16 with problematic alcohol & drug use through an Assertive Outreach and Intensive Case Management model.

The service model will focus on three key groups:

- Individuals who do not engage at any level;
- Individuals who sporadically engage therefore proving difficult to achieve desired outcomes, and
- Individuals who partially engage where the focus is purely on medical treatment

We are committed to helping individuals begin their journey to recovery whilst utilising harm reduction approaches. Safety will be at the forefront of care delivery and we will make efforts to include families and communities in the continued growth and development of the service model to assist in reducing stigma, increase engagement and retention of individuals within the service/treatment/pathway which works best for them.

The service will operate flexibly & creatively across the whole of South Lanarkshire and will work in partnership with existing services such as CAReS teams and The Beacons etc. The service will operate 7 days a week, including evenings and public holidays.

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.
