Are you looking for the reward of knowing you can make a real difference to people's lives?
Safe Space is a small specialist trauma service providing counselling and groupwork to adults who have experienced childhood sexual abuse. We are based in Dunfermline Business Centre.
Our Admin worker is retiring, and we are looking in the first instance for an Evening Receptionist who can work 3 evenings on a Monday, Wednesday and Thursday 4-8pm, but who might be interested in taking on additional responsibilities and hours from the Admin worker, as she nears her retirement date.
Alternatively, you may wish to apply at this stage for the wider admin role (16 hours) and prefer mostly daytime hours, with some evening work included.
Could this be the job and the flexibility you have been looking for?
