The Lochgelly Service currently provides care to 10 supported people who live in Lochgelly and surrounding areas. Some live in their own homes, others stay with family.
Overview
Getting to know the people we support is at the heart of what we do. We work with them to learn how they want us to support them. Support can range from a walk round Loch Ore Meadows, help with finances, a cup of tea at the Lochgelly centre, shopping, helping with personal care or going to bingo. We hold regular get‑togethers in the community for people to meet and enjoy themselves.
Shifts range from 3 to 16 hours. The service operates 7 days a week. Good travel links in and around Lochgelly with local bus routes and a train station. An established staff team will guide and support new staff.
