About Sycamore Fife

The Aberlour Sycamore Services are based in Fife and are widely recognised in Scotland for providing a range of quality therapeutic residential, education and fostering experiences for some of the most vulnerable young people in the country. The Service is a national resource and as such receives referrals from throughout Scotland.

What we are looking for....

We are looking for people to join our relief pool who are passionate about supporting children and young people. The children and young people who live in our houses have experienced significant trauma in their young lives and our aim is to create loving, nurturing family homes where they feel safe and cared for.

Our relief workers play a crucial role in supporting our teams. This work is offered on a casual, hourly paid basis to provide cover during staff absence and/or particularly busy periods. Work will be offered in one of our four residential houses in Fife – three of these are in Kirkcaldy and one in Dunfermline.

Members of our relief pool have a varied range of backgrounds and often work in different areas of the workforce. Although experience in child-care is ideal, we would also like to hear from people who may have skills from their work experience in different sectors which would be transferrable and provide a good basis from which to learn and develop their skills, utilising the range of training we provide.

The last eighteen months have been challenging for all of us and many of us are re-evaluating what we want out of life, including our working lives. Relief work enables you to test out your affinity and ability for working in residential child-care and, if you want to take things a step further, there are opportunities to move into a substantive role in the future.

Night Relief Work – if your availability is limited during the day, there is also a role for people who are available to work at night. At night there is always a ‘wakened’ night worker on shift, together with another adult sleeping in the service, who can be called upon to assist if required. Typically our night shifts are from 10.00pm until 8.00am. Night times can be particularly difficult for some of the children and young people who live with us. It is a time when some of their worst fears can prey on their minds, leaving them feeling especially vulnerable and in need of nurturing support. So, it is really important that adults on shift are able to comfort them and support them, so that they can settle and fall asleep.
