At Aberlour we listen to understand what our young people want and need within our local area. Our Options Fife Housing Support service in Glenrothes supports young people with learning disabilities and/or autism to live and thrive within the local community.

This service will be home to 4 young people aged 16 plus who will all have their own individual flat. Our rota has been drafted to suit the needs of the young people. Our night shifts are 12.5 hours, from 8pm to 8.30am, and are worked as part of a residential rota. More details can be discussed at interview.
