Temporary staff across the region

Our reactive Agency Cover service supplies a vetted Night Concierge, Waking Night Support Worker or Security Guard at short notice, with no ongoing commitment — for a one-off shift, sickness cover or an unexpected rota gap. Where a Dunfermline site needs staffing on an ongoing basis instead, our fully outsourced Contract Cover service takes complete responsibility for staffing.

We cover hostels and supported housing sites across Dunfermline and the wider area, including Rosyth, Kirkcaldy, Inverkeithing and Cowdenbeath. See our Dunfermline area page for the full range of roles we supply locally.

Vetting, training and site-specific induction
