Person Centred Approach
We get to know you as a person, and then look at what kind of activities you would like to do.
We will also look at what specific needs you may have and how we can meet them. For example if you need assistance with personal care etc. We will work with you to plan what you would like to do while you are with us. We will then follow this plan as much as we can to make sure you can do the things you want to, at a time that suits you!
Access to this Service
An assessment will determine whether we can provide a service or not. A Social Worker will complete the assessment paperwork. We will work with you to develop a support plan that can meet your needs.
You can also arrange a visit to see us.
Employment through the Social Work Community Support Service
We have a dedicated Work Option Team in each area lead by 1 Work Option Coordinator (Fife Wide) who will ensure support is available for any individual who has an aspiration to find voluntary work, vocational opportunities and employment.
