About

Looking for a job where you can really make a difference?

Join our amazing #TeamDrum in Dunfermline as a Support Practitioner. We have permanent contracts of 16 or 20 hours per week and relief options available if you're looking for something a bit more flexible.

Don't have experience? Don't worry! If you're caring, compassionate and willing to learn, we'll provide all the training and support you need.

Meet your future team

You'll become part of a warm, supportive team providing support for four incredible ladies with profound and complex needs in their shared home.

This is so much more than a job, it's about building meaningful relationships, celebrating achievements (big & small), supporting independence, creating memorable experiences.

Whether you're supporting one of the ladies to prepare a meal, achieve a personal goal, enjoy a favourite activity, or simply feel heard and understood, you'll play an important part in helping them live a full and valued life. From arts and crafts sessions to days out and even alpaca visits, watching rugby and grand prix; no two days are ever the same.

The ladies communicate in different ways and will take time to get to build trust, but the connections you'll form makes this one of the most rewarding roles you could ever have.
