Are you an experienced manager with a passion for supporting adults involved with community justice? If compassion, care and inclusiveness are an important part of who you are, we have an opportunity to work in a unique, dynamic and challenging but emotionally rewarding role within a community justice residential service.

Turning Point Scotland’s Turnaround service is seeking an experienced manager to join the residential team. As a Service Co-ordinator, you will be responsible for managing direct service provision within a residential facility. You will support the service manager by overseeing the delivery of a structured programme promoting change behaviour. The 6-week programme consists of therapeutic interventions including an evidence-based group work programme, person centred one to one support and a range of therapeutic activities and interventions.

Turning Point Scotland takes a citizen ship approach to reintegration and believes that the values of respect, compassion, inclusion, and integrity are essential to everything we do.

The Turnaround Service delivers focused interventions that address the complex and interrelated issues of offending behaviour and problematic use of alcohol and other drugs

A CBT approach is 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 which helps sustain a person-centred recovery pathway and promote desistance.

As Service Coordinator, you will:

• Coordinate the assessment, planning, delivery and evaluation of care and support within a residential environment to a high standard
• Direct and line manage a team of social care practitioners to assist individuals to maintain and develop their skills, abilities and confidence in all aspects of their lives.
• Contribute to the development of the service, maintaining high standards which adhere to organisational policy, aims and objectives.
• Ensure that the dignity and privacy of individuals is respected and maintained at all times.
• Ensure individuals are supported to exercise their rights and to make informed choices.

This is a fantastic opportunity to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives while developing your operational management career.

Due to the location of the service a driving license and access to car are essential.
