Support Practitioner- Dunfermline (Forth Valley)

Join Our Team in Dunfermline as a Support Practitioner

Step into Robert’s world of hillwalking, 80s music and adventure!

Since joining the Carr Gomm family, Robert has been on a journey of self-expression and discovery. Ever since childhood, he boarded in various institutions and didn’t always have the opportunity to voice his needs and wants, leaving him without control over his own life. Since joining the Carr Gomm family, Robert has achieved significant milestones, including securing his own home outside Dunfermilne. This has not only provided stability but empowered Robert to explore his passions, such as hill walking and Scottish history.

He says: “I am very, very happy with my support. I am happy getting out… and taking staff to different places. Happy looking at holidays with staff on the computer.”

Do you want to make a difference for Robert and people like him in your local community? Become part of our team today!
