Support Worker - Dunfermline

[Employer hidden — view at passion-project.co.uk] is a major provider of Housing, Care and Support to people with long term and enduring conditions such as learning disabilities, mental health issues, dementia and autism.

The [Employer hidden] service in Dunfermline supports 13 people with learning disabilities and autism. The support we offer differs from person to person which means being a support worker offers lots of variety.

Everyone is supported to say what they want their support to be like and what they’d like to achieve.

Shifts are varied and can be from 3 – 16 hours over 7 days a week. Dunfermline has great public transport links so being able to drive is not essential to work with us.

We pride ourselves on delivering quality person-centred support. For further details please visit www.arkha.org.uk
