Run a Service. Lead a Team. Make a Difference.
Eidyn Care is looking for a strong Service Manager / Deputy Manager to lead our growing Fife home care service.
This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who wants real responsibility — not just paperwork and box-ticking.

If you like taking ownership, solving problems, and building a solid team, you'll fit in well here.
The Role
You will manage the day-to-day running of the Fife service, supporting coordinators, field staff and care workers.
You'll work closely with the Registered Manager but will be trusted to run the service independently.
