A Unique Career for Nurses

Are you a Registered Nurse, looking for a New Career Opportunity?

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 Aberdeen 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. 

A unique opportunity has arisen within Turning Point Scotland’s Aberdeen Housing Services for an experienced Senior Nurse to join our team to shape and lead our response to meeting the health care needs of people at risk of homelessness or currently experiencing homelessness.   


We are committed to helping people improve their quality of life, and recognise that access to health care is a significant barrier for many of those we support. 


Based on a robust framework of citizenship and participation we are passionate about encouraging people who use the service to improve and maintain relationships with family, friends and communities to build on their sense of belonging in society.


As a Senior Nurse, 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. physical and mental health, emotional well-being,  keeping safe, meaningful activities, community involvement, and relationships.
Underpinning this exciting new post, is the ability to scope need, understand barriers, tackle stigma and ensure more effective pathways are developed to longer term primary health care services.
