SSS is based in Kirkcaldy and its objectives are to promote the prevention and early detection of alcohol and drug related problems and ancillary problems including other addictions, mental health and social well-being, and to provide treatment and support towards recovery for individuals experiencing such problems.
At Substances Support Scotland (SSS), we believe that change starts with one conversation.
We provide compassionate, trauma-informed support to individuals, families and communities affected by alcohol and substance use. Every day, our teams work alongside people facing some of life's most difficult challenges, helping them build stability, improve wellbeing and create positive change.
As we continue to expand our services across Scotland, we are looking for passionate, motivated and people-focused individuals to join our team.
This is more than a job. It is an opportunity to make a genuine difference in people's lives.
