Because People Matter.
That belief sits at the heart of Turning Point Scotland and everything we do.
Across more than 40 services, our 1,400 colleagues support people throughout Scotland who are facing some of the most complex challenges in their lives. We work alongside people to help them have greater choice, independence and control, and to achieve positive and lasting change.

As a Trustee, you will share responsibility for the strategic direction, governance and long-term sustainability of the organisation. You will work alongside fellow Trustees and our leadership team, bringing insight, judgement and constructive challenge to the decisions we make about our future.

You do not need previous Trustee or non-executive experience. We are interested in people who share our values and can bring different experiences, perspectives and ways of thinking to our Board.
You will be curious, thoughtful and willing to ask challenging questions, while working collaboratively with others towards a shared purpose.

If you would like to use your experience to help one of Scotland’s leading social care organisations make an even greater difference, we would be delighted to hear from you.
