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 the Mobile Harm Reduction 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, the Mobile Harm Reduction Service was set up in September 2022 with 5-year funding from the Corra Foundation. The primary aim of the Mobile Harm Reduction Service is to promote and deliver WAND interventions in order to increase the number of those using harm reduction services, and to increase engagement with mainstream treatment and support services. These interventions are carried out via three mobile units which are 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.
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.

You will help the Healthcare Practitioners to develop their professional and practical skills, and work with them to ensure the people we support are given the best care possible.
