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.

About the role

This is an exciting opportunity for a Support Practitioner to work in our Rattray/Blairgowrie service. Unlike other support roles, with Turning Point Scotland, no two days are the same!

You will:

- Provide person centred care and support to individuals with mild learning disabilities, mental health conditions and autism, enabling them to live in their own tenancy.

- Assist with daily living, promoting citizenship, dignity, independence, and respect. 

- Support individuals to participate in activities, holidays, inclusion, and live as independently as they wish. 

- Demonstrate positive values, compassion, and person-centred support in all interactions. 

- Maintain a safe environment and work collaboratively with the multidisciplinary team to deliver high-quality care. 

About You

We believe having the right values of respect, compassion, inclusion and integrity is all you need to join our team.  As a Support Practitioner the support you provide will always be person centred, tailoring support to meet the needs of the people we support maximising choice and autonomy while assessing and managing risk in conjunction with the Tayside Risk Management Group.

About Us

At Turning Point Scotland Perth & Kinross, we deliver services for people who have a learning disability or autism and unique and complex behaviours which challenge the service: many of the individuals we support have some forensic histories. We support people who live in 24/7 supported accommodation projects and their own homes. We also provide support within our outreach service to people with learning disabilities within the area of Perth & Kinross. 

No previous working experience is needed; full training will be provided to you. We believe having the right values of respect, compassion, inclusion and integrity is all you need to join our team! We would offer you full support in completing your application.
