Jobs in Kirkcaldy Central, Fife

At Substances Support Scotland (SSS), we believe that change starts with one conversation.

Through our ASSIST service, we provide compassionate, trauma-informed support to individuals affected by alcohol and substance use who are experiencing complex challenges in their lives. We recognise that many people face multiple barriers to recovery, including homelessness, housing instability, poor mental health, social isolation, financial hardship and limited access to support.

The Hospital Navigator role is a vital part of helping people overcome these barriers. By providing practical support, advocacy and care coordination, Hospital Navigators help individuals move from crisis towards stability, improved wellbeing and meaningful change.
