A fantastic opportunity has arisen for a community based Social Care Officer to join the 'Friends Unlimited Network' team within Perth and Kinross Councils Learning Disability services.

Based within the Kinnoull Community Day Opportunities team you will be responsible for planning and facilitating group activities for individuals by creating a monthly calendar of events.

These groups and activities will support individuals to maintain their personal interests whilst building social networks in the community.
