West Dunbartonshire Intensive Assertive Outreach Team provides Assertive Outreach and Intensive Case Management to support people currently experiencing problems with their alcohol and/or other drug use.

The assertive outreach approach offers a person-centred and flexible model of service.

The service adopts a “no wrong door” approach, with multiple points of entry, including self-referral and providing an out of hours response with some overlap to facilitate follow up engagement and referrals to mainstream services and offer short periods of support to those who’s needs are not being met.

This model is designed to take services throughout West Dunbartonshire to reach people who have traditionally struggled to engage, building a trusting relationship during this period.

As a Lead Practitioner, 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. keeping safe, meaningful activities, community involvement, physical health, relationships, emotional health and wellbeing.

We welcome applications from all candidates who are eligible to work in the United Kingdom. However, we are not able to sponsor visas.

Turning Point Scotland offers a Salary Matching opportunity within the pay points of the role and based on experience.

Please note that IT skills are required for all our vacancies.
