Personal Development Worker for Lucy in Auchterarder
Closing Date: 23/04/2025 23:59
This is a Permanent, Part Time vacancy that will close in 15 days at 23:59 BST.
The Vacancy
A great opportunity has arisen to be part of Lucy’s brand new team in Auchterarder, Perthshire.
Hi, I’m Lucy. I’m 19 years old. People who know and love me describe me as caring and say I always like to help others.
I love animals and volunteer weekly at a local Wildlife Park (my favourite animals are ponies and donkeys). I enjoy keeping busy and have an active, healthy lifestyle including cycling, swimming, horse riding, judo, and walking. I also like to go to the gym.
Could you support me to make friends in my local community and continue having fun at my local community group where I enjoy activities such as karaoke, bingo, dancing, arts, and crafts?
Having productive and busy days are important to me. I am looking for support to engage in new opportunities and activities within the local community, but equally, I like to have time to engage in low task demand activities, so ideally you will be someone who likes a bit of calm time too.
Most importantly, I would like to have team members around me who can have a laugh and lots of fun, matching my energy and shared interests, people who can motivate me positively.
Family time is very important to me; I live at home with my siblings and family.
Reliability and consistency are qualities you should possess as I don’t like sudden unplanned changes to support.
Does this sound like you? Could you walk alongside me and support me to live my best life? Apply now for life-changing work.
Training and Requirements
Prader-Willi Syndrome training will be provided to new team members as living a healthy balanced diet and lifestyle is important.
A driver’s license is essential; however, Lucy also uses public transport and would like team members to promote her independent travel.

* We pay PVG and SSSC fees.
* 30 days annual leave - rising to 35 days after 5 years’ service.
* Life Assurance
* Access to discount scheme
