About the Organization

Turning Point Scotland is the leading provider of services for individuals facing or at risk of homelessness throughout Scotland, assisting a significant number of individuals daily.

We firmly believe that homelessness can often be prevented. When it cannot be, we strive to ensure that the experience is brief and does not recur. Our support is directed towards individuals who are:

  • Experiencing homelessness
  • At risk of becoming homeless
  • In need of assistance to maintain their housing

A valid UK driving license and access to a personal vehicle are essential, as travel to provide support across the area is necessary.

We value lived experiences; further information about our perspectives can be found on our website.

As a Support Practitioner in the field of Homelessness and Prevention, you will engage with individuals who have diverse support needs, offering both practical and emotional assistance while empowering them to achieve their personal goals in various life aspects, including safety, meaningful engagement, community participation, physical health, relationships, and emotional well-being.

In this role, you will manage your own caseload and schedule to provide support to the individuals we assist. Comprehensive training and coaching will be provided.

No prior work experience is necessary; we believe that possessing the right values of respect, compassion, inclusion, and integrity is crucial for joining our organization. We are committed to supporting you throughout the application process.
