Looking for a role where compassion meets purpose?
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.
As an Autism Practitioner, you'll build positive relationships and support people to live as independently as possible. Whether it's enjoying community activities, developing life skills, maintaining meaningful routines, pursuing hobbies, or achieving personal goals, you'll play an important role in helping people live the life they choose.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
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.
Key Responsibilities:
- Build positive relationships with the people you support.
- Support people to achieve their personal goals and aspirations.
- Encourage independence and participation in community activities.
- Contribute to personalised support plans and daily records.
- Support with household tasks and personal care where required.
