About the Role

In this role you will play a key part of the support team ensuring a high quality of care and support is delivered to individuals within central West Fife both in a hostel setting and within their own homes. Support is provided to individuals in their own home on an outreach basis as well as support for our homeless provision of the service.

Within this service specifically we provide high quality support and guidance to individuals all aged 16+. As a Support Worker you will work with the service users to ensure needs and outcomes are being provided for. The role is centred around understanding the day-to-day challenges faced by people with homelessness issues, including addictions, substance misuse, mental health aspects and learning and physical disabilities.
The role also provides outreach support to people in their own homes and outreach support services, to develop and maintain independent living skills and to take part in activities in the community.
The service and support we provide is person centred support which is co-produced with the individuals ensuring their needs, choices, goals and aspirations are valued.
The people we support, like us all, can have days where they are not as happy and up for the fun things in life. These are the days when they probably need us and the great support, we provide the most. Great support knows what to do at any given time, but we will always help you with this, so you know how to respond in any given situation.
