Are you a dedicated and confident professional with experience in support roles? Are you ready to apply your skills and knowledge to a new and rewarding challenge? We are seeking passionate, experienced and enthusiastic practitioners to make a positive impact on the lives of the people we support.

About us

We are committed to supporting over 60 autistic adults across Fife, providing personalised care across a variety of settings. Our services range in the level of complexity and have varying staffing ratios including 1:1 and 2:1 support.

Key responsibilities

Continuously develop personalised support plans with the supported people, their support network, and other stakeholders to ensure their life goals and aspirations are the main focus. Build positive relationships with the supported people. Support people to take part in their chosen activities. Be an active part of their local community and live as independently as possible. Complete all tasks necessary to maintain their home and may be required to support with personal care.

As part of your role, you will be required to undertake shift work, including weekends and evenings, so flexibility towards working hours is key. There are physical elements to this role.
