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 at WAND Initiative Mobile Service 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. 

After the successful pilot of the WAND Initiative in Glasgow City Centre, we are excited to introduce a Corra funded NEW harm reduction service offering a range of roles, some of which are new and innovative. The primary aim of the service will be to promote and deliver the WAND Initiative in order to increase the number of those using and implementing harm reduction services, and to increase engagement with mainstream treatment and support services. The interventions will be carried out via three mobile units which will be fitted out to deliver a range of clinical and harm reduction interventions. The mobile units will operate flexibly across Glasgow City, East Dunbartonshire, and East Renfrewshire, with most of the provision being across the three localities of Glasgow city.

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 Healthcare 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.
