    The Richmond Fellowship Scotland is a leading voluntary organisation, supporting people with a broad range of needs, including mental health difficulties, learning disabilities, dementia, autism and behaviour deemed as challenging. They also provide support to individuals who have had contact with the Criminal Justice System, who will require intensive support to successfully live in their own homes as part of the community. They are an organisation driven by strong values and a firm commitment to choice, dignity and social inclusion. Although they support over 2800 people throughout Scotland, they are committed to delivering services that recognise people as individuals.

    Due to new business they are currently looking to increase their staff resource in Glenrothes and Auchtermuchty, and are looking for people who can help their supported individuals to achieve their own positive outcomes.

    There are two female full time posts available (39 hours per week), but this service is all about being flexible, so if you are looking for part time but can be flexible then this could still be the ideal service for you. The successful applicants will be supporting people with all aspects of daily living such as general housekeeping, budgeting, personal care, meals, and medication, social and recreational activities as well as developing meaningful relationships. You will be required to work a range of shifts including weekend's e.g. day shift, back shift, and sleepovers with day shifts starting from 7.00am, backshifts from 12 o'clock or 1.00pm.

    You will join an experienced team, and receive excellent training, including a VQ in Social Care. Relevant experience is desirable however if you are new to care, and have the ability to get along with people, practical life skills and common sense this could be an exciting new rewarding career opportunity. They offer a competitive salary, enhanced pension contributions and annual leave, childcare vouchers as well as other employee related rewards.

Applicants are required to hold a full current driving licence with access to a vehicle. Section 9 (2)(b) of the Employment (Sex Discrimination) Act 2000 applies to this post.
