Working in the hospitality industry and customer facing needs the right people with the right approach and part of the right team – Scoopz has achieved all of this with Isla and Areeba.  

You enter Scoopz and receive a welcoming smile and a lovely greeting. You are then faced with the impossible choice of cakes, sweets and ultimately a delicious ice-cream.  

Scoopz has been working with the Fife Job Contract for 2 years and we have supported Areeba and Isla into sustainable positions. Offering quality customer service and well informed about each of the products, Areeba and Isla have been at the forefront of the business. 

Salman Tahir, manager had this to say about the Fife Job Contract, ’The FJC funding has been vital in stabilising our operations, allowing us to effectively manage training and wage costs even during challenging trading periods. We recommend that other employers participate in this programme, as it not only alleviates financial burdens but also provides a clear pathway towards building a genuinely diverse and inclusive workforce. Our FJC participants have gained valuable employability skills and boosted their self-confidence through meaningful paid work experience. By removing barriers faced by those with childcare responsibilities or limited access to the job market, we are promoting a more equitable local economy in Fife." 

If you are an employer, 3rd Sector employer or one of our Service Directorates, we can support you for recruitment, we can help promote additional jobs, Modern Apprenticeships and provide support on multiple fronts. For eligible clients there may be funding support available. If you would like more information, drop us an email at – FJC@fife.gov.uk
