Earn up to £23,150.16 per year pro rata
The Ark service in Dunfermline supports 12 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. Some people are supported to live independently in their own homes, while others stay with their families. Everyone is supported to say what they want their support to be like and what they’d like to achieve. This can vary from support to cook meals, go swimming, take medication, do arts and crafts, visit friends, or go on holiday.
Shifts are varied and can be from 3 to 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.
