Join Scottish Autism's Fife Services and help autistic adults live fulfilling, meaningful lives while developing a rewarding career of your own.
About the Role:
Our Fife Services support autistic adults across Cowdenbeath, Cardenden, Lochgelly and Glenrothes. Every person we support is unique, with their own interests, goals and aspirations. Support is tailored to the person's individual needs and may be provided on a 1:1 or 2:1 basis.

We're looking for compassionate, confident and enthusiastic individuals who are passionate about making a positive difference. Previous support experience is beneficial, and a full UK driving licence would be advantageous.

Support people to achieve their personal goals and aspirations.
