Homelessness and Prevention
Turning Point Scotland is the biggest provider of services to people experiencing or at risk of Homelessness across Scotland, delivering support to around 2000 individuals on any given day, 4500 per year.
We believe that in many cases, Homelessness is entirely preventable. Where Homelessness is not or cannot be, prevented the experience should be brief and non-recurring.
We provide support to people who are;
- Experiencing Homelessness
- At risk of Homelessness; and / or
- Need some support to protect their home
Around two thirds of our work is with people who are experiencing Homelessness.
We believe a menu of options should be available to individuals to prevent, or support someone to move on from Homelessness. This ensures we use a ‘no wrong door’ approach to accessing service and behind this door, people should be met with a ‘Whole System Approach’ to support.
We deliver a range of outreach services including Housing Support (Short and Long Term / Intensive); Housing First and Crisis Support.
Our ambitions are high for those we help; we want everyone to reach their full potential, to become active and valued members of their community, to acquire the life skills and decision-making capabilities to lead a stable productive and fulfilling life. We will challenge, coach and encourage to help achieve this, sometimes involving the peer support of others who have shared similar personal journeys.
We are also active members of the European Federation of National Organisations with the Homeless (FEANTSA) and founding Members of the Housing First Europe Hub.
The Housing First Consortium is a Housing First service within Glasgow. Housing First has been recognised by the Scottish Government as an effective way to support those who have been long term homeless and have multiple and complex needs. Turning Point Scotland is the lead partner in the consortium and work in partnership with Simon Community Scotland, Wheatley Care and The Salvation Army. We work closely with our funders Glasgow City Council HSCP (health and social care partnership),
The premise of Housing First is that housing is a basic human right and is an integral part of a holistic support package offered to individuals
Our Housing First service supports individuals over 18 years of age who are statutory homeless with multiple and complex needs; however, they still want to have a tenancy of their own. Support staff will provide support to Transition into a tenancy of their choice and to live there. We provide support around maintaining the of a tenancy, problematic alcohol and other drug use, mental health, social inclusion, life skills and employability. This support is non time limited. We deliver a high-fidelity service which means we stick closely to the 7 principles of Housing First.
The service is based in Kintyre House 209 Govan Road and support is available on a 24/7 basis, with the office being staffed from 9am to 7.30pm. After hours service users are able to receive support from our “On Call” service which is for advice and information in emergencies.
The service is person centred with the individual choosing their own priorities in their recovery and flexibility in support.
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.
Please note that IT skills are required for all our vacancies.
Where applicable, successful candidates will be required to register with the SSSC within 6 months of start date.
