Relief Childcare Practitioner

Our organisation was established in the mid-70s with the goal of providing outstanding social care for individuals with diverse support needs. We're dedicated to placing the people we support at the forefront of everything we do and providing customised care that suits their specific needs. Our core values of Life, Justice, and Community drive us to make a positive impact on people's lives.

TMF is delighted to confirm that on 1st April 2025 it joined Enable, one of Scotland’s leading charities who has been championing the rights of individuals for over 70 years. Enable’s mission is to work for an equal society where everyone has the right to live, work and participate in the communities of their choice. Across the charity’s three pillars, they deliver self-directed health and social care support with Enable Cares; employability and training services with Enable Works; and community projects and campaigns with Enable Communities.

Buttercup House provides a short break respite service for up to three children and young people with learning and physical disabilities in a comfortable, relaxing environment. When people come to stay with us, they are on holiday, and we try to make it as fun as possible.

Help transform lives like L’s.

Hello, I’m L and I like to have a sleepover at Buttercup House Project with my best friend.

I am a very sociable person and I love spending time with my friends at Buttercup House. I enjoy going on outings to the cinema, bowling and I particularly love being outdoors, visiting the park, running, climbing and going on adventures. I also enjoy doing Arts & Crafts and playing games with my friends.

Buttercup House is looking for enthusiastic childcare practitioners who can help make a real difference to people we support. The project provides short break respite for up to three children and young people, in a comfortable relaxing environment. When people come to stay with us, they are enjoying having fun with their friends.

Are you ready to make a real difference to everyone at the Buttercup House Project?
