    Trust in Fife (TiF) operates two homeless accommodation hostels in Kirkcaldy, providing support and guidance to people aged over 16 who have found themselves homeless. They also provide support to people in the private rented sector through the Fife Private Rental Solutions (FPRS) team. Their charity shop, The Cairn Centre, supports a team of volunteers and offers value-for-money products in the local community. All this helps to work towards achieving their mission of taking positive steps towards assisting vulnerable and homeless people in Fife.

However, applications are also welcome from people who have experience in a similar setting and have a willingness to complete their qualification alongside working. Maintaining registration with the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) and a suitable PVG return are also requirements for the role.
