Because People Matter

join us to reach your full potential at

Turning Point Scotland.

You will be working

Friday and Saturday

within the hours of

9.30am to 5.30pm

. We have an exciting new opportunity for the right person to run our kitchen, working and supporting people in recovery from mental ill health and adhering to Turning Point Scotland's Ethos and Values -

Because People Matter.

The Turning Point Scotland Turnaround service delivers focused services that address the complex and interrelated issues of offending behaviour and problematic use of alcohol and other drugs. In 2018, we redesigned our service to also include a Throughcare model.
Since 2007, we have worked alongside councils and social work departments within 22 local authorities including Angus, Argyll & Bute, Clackmannanshire, Dumfries & Galloway, East Ayrshire, East Dunbartonshire, East Renfrewshire, Fife, Inverclyde, North Ayrshire, Renfrewshire, South Ayrshire, South Lanarkshire and West Dunbartonshire.


An asset-based approach has been 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 to help sustain their recovery and offending behaviour.


You will manage the day to day running of the kitchen, taking control of food ordering, health and safety regulations and food standards legislation, whilst keeping a close eye on finances and budgeting.


You will teach and support our service users to return to mainstream employment after a period of ill health, boosting confidence and self-esteem while learning new on-the- job skills, and encouraging them to achieve their own personal goals.

Due to the rural location and lack of public transport/safe pedestrian links, access to a vehicle for commuting to and from work is essential.

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