Do you wish to work as a cook without committing to working every evening and weekend?   Do you want a healthy work/life balance? We have the ideal opportunity for you.  Because People Matter join us to reach your full potential at Turning Point Scotland.

You will be working between Monday and Friday within the hours of 9.30 and 5.30pm. We have an exciting new opportunity for the right person to run our kitchen, working and adhering to Turning Point Scotland’s Ethos and Values – Because People Matter. 

A full UK drivers licence and access to own vehicle is desirable, but not mandatory. Since there is no public transport available to our service location, you will need to arrange secure transportation to and from work.

The Turning Point Scotland Turnaround service delivers focused services that address the complex and interrelated issues of offending behaviour and problematic use of alcohol and other drugs. In 2018, we redesigned our service to also include a Throughcare model.

Since 2007, we have worked alongside councils and social work departments within 22 local authorities including Angus, Argyll & Bute, Clackmannanshire, Dumfries & Galloway, East Ayrshire, East Dunbartonshire, East Renfrewshire, Fife, Inverclyde, North Ayrshire, Renfrewshire, South Ayrshire, South Lanarkshire and West Dunbartonshire.

An asset-based approach has been adopted to help increase an individual’s self-awareness, self-esteem and confidence. Self-development and reflection are key to an individual when putting into practice the skills and learning achieved within the service to help sustain their recovery and offending behaviour.

 You will manage the day to day running of the kitchen, taking control of food ordering, health and safety regulations and food standards legislation, whilst keeping a close eye on finances and budgeting.

You will teach and support our service users to return to mainstream employment after a period of ill health, boosting confidence and self-esteem while learning new on-the- job skills, and encouraging them to achieve their own personal goals.
