About us

Kingdom Support and Care (KSC) provides high quality and personalised support and care for over 300 individuals across Fife and Forth Valley. We support the individuals we work with to manage or overcome challenges, including age-related issues, alcohol and drug addictions, autism spectrum disorders, complex needs, homelessness, learning disabilities and mental health issues.

We work with people in their own homes, assisting them to do the things that matter to them and realise their ambitions. We believe that great support leads to great lives.

About you

We are looking for compassionate, kind and invested support workers who are passionate about helping people to live their best lives.

You do not need any experience or qualifications to become a support worker and we encourage people from all sectors to apply as full training is provided to help you undertake your role to a high standard. There are opportunities for career progression and further development.

If you are resilient, have a can do approach and a great sense of humour you will be off to a great start to be a great fit for this service. It is more important to us that you have the right values, characteristics and share our vision of providing excellent support.

-------------------



The service is a core and cluster model so whilst you support people in their own homes on a one to one basis you will have colleagues close by to support you if required.

The individuals we support within this service area all have their own interests and needs, however a common theme is that they all enjoy a day out. Whether that be simply a walk in the park or a coffee out they all would agree there is nothing better than an adventure outdoors. This may also include taking a supported individual swimming, doing jigsaw puzzles or assisting on mini breaks.

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.
