Service: Dumfries and Galloway Housing First

Hours: Full Time - 37 hours per week
Salary: £26,076-£29,144
Contract Permanent
We are hiring! - Work with Us
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.
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’re looking for a Lead Practitioner to join our frontline Housing First service, supporting people with multiple and complex needs to move straight into a permanent home — without having to prove they’re “ready”.
Housing First is about starting with housing, then wrapping flexible, long-term support around the person to help them sustain their tenancy and work through challenges such as mental health needs, substance use, and involvement with the criminal justice system.
The Role
Deliver high-quality, person-centred frontline support
Lead by example and model trauma-informed, strengths-based practice
Support customers to move into and sustain permanent accommodation
Provide guidance and practice support to colleagues
Work closely with partner agencies across housing, health, substance misuse, and criminal justice
Champion harm reduction, choice, and positive risk-taking
About You
Experienced in working with people with complex needs
Confident supporting others while remaining hands-on
Calm, non-judgemental, and values-driven
Understanding of safeguarding and multi-agency working
Our Housing First Approach
Choice and control for the individual
Individualised support for as long as needed
Harm reduction and community integration
Please note that IT skills are required for all our vacancies.
Turning Point Scotland offers a Salary Matching within the pay points of the role.
Where applicable, successful candidates will be required to register with the SSSC within 6 months of start date.
